Curriculum
The Masters in Psychological Sciences curriculum is designed to offer opportunities for specialization in a chosen core field, breadth of training, selection of electives that serves students’ individual goals, and research as well as applied experience. Masters students will take mostly doctoral level coursework. Each Masters student will be assigned to a research mentor at the start of the program and will maintain involvement in a research laboratory throughout the two-year program. Masters students will also have the opportunity to gain applied experience by participating in the vibrant internship program offered by the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences.
