Department of Psychology programs lead to two graduate degrees:

the Master of Arts (M.A.) with a major in Psychology and concentrations in Clinical, Experimental, Industrial/Organizational, Quantitative Psychology, and Pre-Specialist in Education: School Psychology.
the Specialist in Education (Ed. S) with a major in Curriculum and Instruction, concentration in School Psychology.
A minor at the graduate level is also available.

Applicants to the Experimental Psychology program with an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher, and a composite GRE score of 291 (current scale) or 900 (former scale) on the combined Verbal and Quantitative sections, will be considered for unconditional admission. Other students may be admitted conditionally. Admission to graduate study in experimental psychology is competitive.

Experimental students need to have a strong background in the core areas of experimental psychology. Some of this background can be completed at the undergraduate level, but students must also complete a core of graduate experimental courses.

Students also should enroll in at least one hour of research (PSY 6600) or thesis work (PSY 6640) each semester.
