Master of Science
The rapidly changing professional landscape of the 21st century has led to a growing demand for individuals with a formal psychology background. Industries such as business, marketing, education, health services, criminal justice, sports management, and information technology are increasingly seeking out individuals with these credentials to help improve performance, motivation, and general well-being within organizations. The Master of Science in Psychology degree extends students' knowledge and expertise in the discipline, effectively preparing them to apply their skills in a wide variety of professions and contexts. Students deepen their understanding in critical areas such as research methods, cognitive psychology, social psychology, personality, learning theory, and ethical practice in psychology. Emphasis is placed on the practical application of psychological research to real world contexts. Students will sharpen and hone their skills as they work through ill-structured case studies relevant to psychological theories and methods. While the Master of Science in Psychology degree does not lead to licensure or certification, students will find both the general psychology program and the concentrations well-aligned with industry standards and expectations. In addition, students will graduate with all of the knowledge and skill necessary for doctoral level coursework.
