Overview

The department of Psychology at Florida Atlantic University also offers a Master of Arts degree in General-Experimental Psychology, providing graduate students with a solid foundation for doctoral studies in all areas of psychology. Graduates of our MA Program have pursued a variety of doctoral specialties in psychology, including clinical psychology, counseling psychology, developmental psychology, experimental psychology, organization/industrial psychology, personality theory, Behavioral Neuroscience, neuroscience and neuropsychology. In recent years, over 95% of the students who have successfully completed our M.A. program have been accepted into Ph.D. granting institutions, and, in almost every case, with advanced standing and financial aid.

Learning outcomes

The M.A. Psychology graduate training program also is mentor-based, and provides training for students with career interests in all areas of psychology. This means that M.A. students will work directly with a specific faculty member during training, and the number of M.A. students accepted during any year depends on the ability of faculty to accept new M.A. students.

The M.A. program requires 31 semester hours of coursework beyond the bachelors degree, in addition to a completed masters thesis. M.A. students are accepted on a full-time basis and are expected to finish degree work in 2-3 years.

The Department of Psychology at FAU does not offer graduate studies in Clinical or Counseling Psychology, but rather we offer basic experimental training that is necessary for students seeking admission to applied Ph.D. programs.
