Along with the program-specific requirements listed below, please read the
General Information section of
this

Note: The Psychology graduate program does not accept applications directly to the MA; rather, the MA is an additional or alternative credential for students admitted to the Psychology PhD program.
The Psychology MA is designed to provide the flexibility to align with the curricular requirements of all seven tracks of the Psychology PhD: Clinical Science and Psychopathology Research (CSPR); Cognitive and Brain Sciences (CAB); Counseling Psychology; Industrial-Organizational Psychology (I-O); Personality, Individual Differences, and Behavior Genetics (PIB); Quantitative/Psychometric Methods (QPM); and Social Psychology. Master’s plan selection (Plan A versus Plan B) is determined by the PhD track and its requirements.
