Overview

Students in the Psychological Research program at Temple University work with a faculty sponsor to develop and carry out a master’s project; complete graduate-level coursework in methodology, statistics, ethics, and topical seminars; and engage in professional development activities that prepare them for doctoral-level studies and enhance their applications to Ph.D. programs.

The M.S. in Psychological Research is separate and distinct from the Department of Psychology’s Ph.D. program and does not lead to entrance into the Psychology Ph.D. program. Prospective doctoral students must apply directly to the Ph.D. program.

Future Career

Graduates of the M.S. program in Psychological Research gain skills that enhance their applications to doctoral programs in academic psychology. Positions for individuals with an M.S. in Psychological Research are also available in a number of settings, including universities, private research and consulting organizations, non-profits, and marketing.
