Psychology, MS

Arizona State University - Kaplan International

This degree offers a small-college experience – with its close personal relationships – on ASU’s beautiful West campus, plus the cutting-edge facilities and faculty of a top-tier research university. The Master of Science degree program in psychology is available in two modalities (campus immersion or online) with different culminating experience options (thesis, applied project or capstone). The campus immersion option is ideal for students who plan to pursue doctoral work or careers that involve psychological research methods such as marketing research, education research analysis, public policy analysis, research project management or program evaluation. The program is intensive and research-oriented, and it culminates in a thesis or applied project. Students receive training in advanced research methodology and statistical analysis, grant proposal writing, laboratory instrumentation, data collection, and manuscript development. Students gain firsthand exposure to designing and conducting research, analyzing data, and developing presentations and manuscripts. Students are encouraged to present research reports at professional meetings and conferences and to publish as co-authors in faculty-guided research.
