New master of science in research psychology program

SPU’S NEW master of science program in research psychology is designed to prepare graduate students for a research-related career or to enter a PhD program.

The accelerated, 11-month program focuses on teaching students how to conduct original research, write grants to fund both applied and research projects, explore issues related to diversity and ethics within research, and gain statistical skills for a range of jobs in the lab or industry.

With the assistance of SPU’s collaborative faculty, graduate students will complete a flexible and custom-designed capstone consistent with their graduate school or career goals.
Applications are due Jan. 15, 2022, for the Autumn 2022 quarter. Contact gradadmissions@spu.edu.
