Overview
Master's programs are offered in four broad areas:
- animal learning/physiological psychology (with concentrations in animal learning/behavior or physiological psychology/behavioral neuroscience)
- cognitive and human factors psychology (with concentrations in psycholinguistics, judgment and decision making, human factors/engineering psychology, or sensation and perception)
- social-personality (with concentrations in social, personality, or developmental psychology)
- industrial/ organizational (with concentrations in human-resources/personnel issues and procedures, organizational behavior and theory).
Learning outcomes
At the master's level, students may specialize in any of the traditional areas. The first year of the Master's program is spent primarily in basic courses. Graduate Psychology (Industrial and Organizational Psychology) students at Kansas State University will also complete a first-year research project (see below). During the second year, students begin to satisfy related requirements, complete work on their master's thesis, and begin to develop a major area of professional interest.
Accreditation
Programme Structure
- Graduate students will complete a first-year research project that is designed in consultation with their major adviser. This research endeavor is intended to reflect the importance of establishing a productive research component of an individual’s graduate program. Early in the second year, students will present their first-year project to the department in a format similar to a national meeting of a scientific society.
