M. S. in General Psychology
Director: Roger Kreuz
The MSGP program was developed approximately 18 years ago to offer general training in the psychological sciences. The program was initially intended for those who did not want to or could not commit themselves to a Ph.D. program or to full-time graduate work, and for those whose credentials were not yet sufficient for admission to a Ph.D. program. The admission criteria for this program were intentionally set below those for Doctoral programs. Therefore, those who felt that their academic records or their test scores were not an accurate reflection of their capabilities had an opportunity, through this program, to demonstrate that they could master the level of achievement necessary for doctoral work. In recent years at least two other types of students have been admitted to the MSGP program:
- those with good academic credentials who have not yet selected a specialty area of study
- students whose work or whose spouse's work requires them to remain in the area. The gradual shift in the composition of graduate students has resulted in a consistent rise in both GRE and GPA scores. During recent years these scores have not differed significantly from students in the Ph.D. program.
