Frequently Asked Questions

Most of our students attend full-time, however, our MA program is designed to accommodate students who want to attend part-time because many students are working at least part-time. During the SYC program, students must attend full-time.

Most of our courses are offered in the evening and a few are offered on the weekends. Weekday courses generally meet once a week for two hours. Weekend courses tend to be full-day courses that meet for four or five weekends or weekend days over the semester.

Our students come from a variety of undergraduate backgrounds, which adds to the richness of our interactions in class. However, if a student has an undergraduate degree with a major other than psychology, there are course prerequisites that must be fulfilled.

Students who attend full-time take 9 credits each Fall and Spring semester and up to 6 credits in the summer sessions. For full-time students who start in the Fall semester, the program can be completed in about 3 years. For students who attend part-time, the time will vary based on how many courses are taken at a time. Students are required, however, to complete their degree within 6 years after they begin their first course.
