About the course
Our five-year program offers a fast track to the BA in Psychology and MS in Psychological Science degrees. Designed with the same courses and number of credits students on the traditional track take but in half the time. The five-year program is designed to draw together a community of students who are passionate about learning, prepared for an advanced curriculum, and seeking to work alongside peers who are similarly engaged. Students must maintain a 3.3 (3.5 preferred) GPA in undergraduate Psychology courses to qualify. The MS in Psychological Science is a skill-based degree with a strong emphasis on time spent in the lab and in the field. Its mission is to help students develop proficiency in quantitative and qualitative research methods, and provide the resources and mentorship needed to create meaningful new knowledge.
