Psychology - San Diego State University

Psychology from San Diego State University is a Campus Master Personality Psychology degree that prepares you for a Psychology career. The Master of Arts Degree offers students the opportunity to pursue their study of Psychology at the graduate level and to prepare themselves for Ph.D. programs in a variety of areas. It is particularly appropriate for students who need advanced work to strengthen their profiles in preparation for application to Ph.D. programs, or for those who wish to explore graduate level work before making a commitment to Ph.D. training. Note: Students completing the Master of Arts program are treated fairly, but in no special way with regard to their application to the SDSU-UCSD Joint Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology. In general, the program is research oriented. It does not offer instruction in technical skills such as intelligence testing, and does not have a counseling practicum or provide other opportunities for development of clinical skills. There are many opportunities to gain valuable laboratory experience in conducting research, including experimental studies working with human participants. Many of these are listed under "Research Opportunities" (see link below). Upon admission to the program, each student is assigned a faculty research mentor. It is expected that the student will work in the mentor's laboratory for the first two semesters of the program, to gain research experience and to work toward development of a thesis idea and proposal.
