Programs Leading to the Master
of Arts Degree in Psychology
Either full-time or part-time attendance is
possible. Students may be admitted in the
Fall or Spring.
Requirements for Matriculation
These requirements are in addition to the
general requirements for admission.
1. Fifteen credits in undergraduate psy-
chology is considered the minimum
requirement for admission to the M.A. pro-
gram, which should include an undergrad-
uate laboratory course in experimental
psychology and a course in psychological
statistical methods or their equivalents. A
student who has not had at least a one-
semester laboratory course in experimental
psychology and a one-semester course in
statistical methods or their equivalents,
but whose record of achievement is other-
wise high, will be asked to make up the
deficiency through taking a comparable
course without credit in an undergraduate
college.
2. A minimum grade average index of B
(3.0) in undergraduate courses.
3. A minimum grade average index of B
(3.0) or the equivalent in the undergradu-
ate field of concentration or, with permis-
sion of the department, in related fields.
4. Three letters of recommendation, at
least two of which should be from instruc-
tors who are in a position to attest to the
applicant’s capacity to complete successful-
ly a program of graduate studies. In some
cases a personal interview with the Gradu-
ate Adviser or with some other members of
the Department may be required.
5. The applicant is required to submit
results in both the aptitude test and the
advanced test in psychology of the Gradu-
ate Record Examination. Applicants should
apply directly to the Educational Testing
Service, Princeton, New Jersey 08541, or
Box 27896, Los Angeles, California 90027,
for full information and arrangements to
take the test. Students are advised to take
the Graduate Record Examination no later
than February for September admission.
No final consideration may be given to any
application unless the Admissions Office
receives the results of the examination by
the date applications are due.
6. Applicants whose first language was
not English and who were educated in a
country where English is not the official
language must present a minimum score of
600 on the Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL) to be eligible for admis-
sion to the M.A. programs in Psychology.
7. Possession of the requirements does
not automatically insure admission to the
programs. Each record, including grades,
letters of recommendation, Graduate
Record Examination scores, and informa-
tion from present and former instructors
and employers, will be carefully examined
by a Graduate Committee on Admissions.
Departmental interviews may be required
prior to a decision.
8. Specific requirements may be waived
