Master of Arts in Social Psychology

30-33 Credit Hours

Social Psychology focuses on the way individuals relate to one another, how the presence of other people can affect individual behavior within groups, and how people influence others’ behavior, thoughts, and feelings. The MA program in social psychology is designed to give students a strong background for entry into professions such as applied or institutional research, social policy, human resources, or community college teaching. We also prepare students for further graduate study in a doctoral program.
