major: Psychological Science
Degree: Master of Science (MS) 2024-2025
Activity Code: BS/MS in Psychological Science or MS in Psychological Science
The MS in the Psychological Science program has two options, a BS/MS degree for undergraduate students enrolled at 九色视频, and a stand-alone MS degree that is open to any individual who has already obtained a bachelor’s degree. No GRE score is required for either program. Current BS students can apply for the accelerated BS/MS in Psychological Science during the Spring of their junior year (the Spring before they would begin the graduate-course sequence). Students must earn a 3.2 GPA in all major requirements to qualify for admission to the Master's degree in Psychological Science. Contact the Graduate Program Director for more information about the accelerated BS/MS or the MS in Psychological Science.
Students in the accelerated BS/MS program must complete these courses, which will apply to both degrees, during the semester before transitioning to the MS program: Research Design and Analysis I (PSY 6214: 3 credits); Colloquium (PSY 6937: 1 credit); Supervised Research (PSY 6910: 2 credits); and one 3-credit content course (DEP 6055, EXP 6506, or SOP 6069).
