Experimental Psychology Master's Program (M.A.)
The Experimental Psychology Track of the Master of Arts program
in Psychology at Towson University is designed to prepare students
for conducting research in industrial, government, private consulting
or hospital settings or for enrollment in doctoral programs.
The track is intended either for students who have completed an
undergraduate degree in psychology or for those students who have
undergraduate degrees in other majors who are interested in pursuing
psychological research.
Students may pursue course work in a variety of areas of specialization
within psychology. Graduates will be prepared to pursue other advanced
degrees in psychology in a variety of specialty areas or prepare
for such positions as laboratory researcher, experimental designer
or psychometrician. Students in the track receive extensive training
in research design and analysis and have access to a large and diverse
faculty. Students receive considerable personal attention; most
classes have fewer than 16 students. As a result, students have
been very successful in either gaining admission to doctoral programs
or finding employment in the field of research design and analysis.
A thesis is required of all students.
Students may work toward the degree either full- or part-time. Courses
are offered only in the late afternoons and evenings.
