The Department of Psychology requires undergraduate courses in statistics and in experimental methods. These courses may be taken as deficiency courses upon acceptance into the M.S. program.
Experimental psychology requires sophistication in mathematics.
Prospective students are encouraged to recognize this trend and prepare themselves as well as possible. Mathematics from Statistics through Calculus is desirable. The M.S. program in experimental psychology is designed to form the basis for our doctoral program. It is, however, open to those seeking only a master's degree. Thus, the program is not well suited for those students seeking a terminal degree.
