knowledge and tools as preparation for more advanced work in
psychology. The program is academically oriented with a heavy
research component. The required courses can also serve as a solid
foundation for students desiring a psychological background as
support for other fields of study.
Classes are offered after 4: 00 p.m. Part-time attendance is
permitted. Students may take courses in the program on a
nonmatriculated bases, in accord with the regulations set forth by
the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Such students may gain
admission into the M.A. program upon the completion of four
graduate courses, with a minimum grade of B in each course.
Assistantships
There is one assistantship available to the program that
covers tuition and pays a small stipend. The assistantship requires
that 15 hours be devoted per week to the conduct of research in all
aspects. The appointment is for one year, and it is renewable,
depending upon performance and continued funding. There are other
assistantships available throughout the University. More
information can be obtained from the Dean's Office. In addition,
some faculty may be able to support students through their
grants.
