The Graduate Program in Psychological Science at Rutgers
University-Camden is a 30-credit program of study leading to the Master
of Arts (M.A.) degree. The program provides a foundation in research design and
data analysis and an opportunity for individually supervised research
apprenticeships. Our curriculum and training emphasizes scientific
research methods that can be used to assist in the solution of
real-world problems.The program is designed for two types of students: those who wish to prepare for admission to a doctoral program, and those interested in jobs that involve conducting research (e.g., marketing, pharmaceutical, and physical health- or mental health-related research). To accommodate students who work during the day, many classes are held in the evening.
Please Note: The program focuses on basic and applied research and does not offer clinical licensing nor training in psychological counseling or therapy.
