Graduate Programs The Master of Arts rogram in Psychology is designed to rovide secialized education in the field of sychology. With an MA in Psychology, one can qualify for ositions similar to those associated with a BA, though at a higher level of resonsibility. Advisors lay an active role in the lanning rocess, and students are strongly encouraged to consult with faculty on a continual and intensive basis as soon as they begin their studies in the rogram. MA students can reare for doctoral study in any area of Psychology or secialize in areas such as Counseling or Industrial/Organizational Psychology. Students who are interested in ursuing graduate work at CSUS in sychology must obtain a Graduate Brochure from the Psychology Deartment office. This brochure is also available on the CSUS web site. The Graduate Brochure contains the deartment alication rocedures, including GRE requirements and the deartmental alication form. Although the rogram is based on a core set of requirements, the form of the rogram rovides for flexibility. While much material is covered in regular course offerings, the Deartment recognizes that secialized study and the develoment of certain tyes of skills must take lace on a one-to-one student-instructor basis. This includes research activities in the laboratory, field, or library; teaching activities; and volunteer work in community mental health agencies, government agencies, schools, and/or businesses. Academic credit under individualized study or fieldwork designations is available for these uroses. Secializations Counseling Psychology: The secialized degree otion in Counseling Psychology is designed for students desiring the Marriage and Family Theray (MFT) license. In addition to comleting the core courses and the culminating requirement for the MA degree, students must select the Counseling Psychology otion and comlete all of the courses meeting the educational requirements for the MFT license as set forth by the licensing board. Students should note that this degree otion is not aroriate for those lanning to ursue doctoral study in

sychology Clinical Psychology; students committed to this latter goal should (a) comlete a well-chosen set of other academic courses (including our quantitative and research courses), (b) obtain research exerience, and (c) work very closely with faculty advisors. Industrial/Organizational Psychology: This secialized degree otion is designed for students who wish to develo marketable career skills that allow them to aly sychological rinciles and research methods to work-related issues. Hiring classifications of our graduates include Test Validation and Develoment Secialist, Research Analyst, and Personnel Analyst. In addition to comleting the core courses and the culminating requirement for the MA degree, students must also select the Industrial/ Organizational Psychology otion. Doctoral Prearation: In the Doctoral Prearation track, students can create individual rograms in conjunction with the faculty to reare for doctoral rograms in a variety of secialized fields, such as Clinical, Cognitive, Develomental, Educational, Exerimental, Industrial/Organizational, Neuroscience, Quantitative, and Social Psychology. Admission Requirements Admission to graduate study in Psychology is selective, requiring comletion of uer division undergraduate sychology courses in statistics and research methods, with at least C grades in those courses, as well as a balanced and academically strong grou of uer division courses covering at least five different core academic areas of sychology (e.g., biological, clinical, cognitive, develomental, social). The uer division sychological research methods/statistics requirement is met by CSUS PSYC 101 and PSYC 102 or their equivalents at other universities. Uer division research methods/statistics courses from other universities must be reviewed and aroved for equivalency by the Deartment s Graduate Coordinator. The accetance model used by the Deartment equally weighs a comosite grade oint average (GPA), scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), and letters of recommendation. Comosite GPA involves both overall GPA and the GPA of the last 60 semester (90 quarter) units, the latter weighed twice that of the former. GRE scores from the two Atitude and single Advanced Psychology exams are averaged. The three letters of recommendation are numerically scored on a scale from 1 (low) to 12 (high), and are averaged. Accetance criteria are based uon alicant scores over the ast several years, and will fluctuate somewhat from semester to semester as recent alicants are added to the ool. An adjunct method of admission is available for alicants with comlete files who are not selected via the above rocess: qualification through unclassified ost baccalaureate status, roviding the alicant meets university requirements for that status, takes secified course work, and maintains a secified minimum GPA. Students are advised to seek further information from the Psychology Deartment concerning this admission alternative. This method can be used only by alicants who have alied under the Standard Admission Plan described below, have generated a comlete alication file with the Deartment, have satisfactorily comleted all of the required rearatory course work listed in the Graduate Brochure, and have fallen below the Deartment s admission criterion. Admission Procedures Alicants must obtain a Psychology Deartment Graduate Brochure containing the deartmental alication materials, and must comlete both arts of the alication rocess by March 1 for fall semester admission or by November 1 for sring semester admission. Each rosective graduate student, including CSUS graduates, must file the following with the Office of Graduate Studies, River Front Center 206, (916) 278-6470: an online alication for admission; and two sets of official transcrits from all colleges and universities attended, other than CSUS. At the same time, each alicant must send the following directly to the Psychology Deartment: a comleted alication form from the Psychology Deartment Graduate Brochure; one set of official transcrits from all colleges and universities attended, including CSUS transcrits; official coies of the General and Psychology Graduate Record Examination* scores (be aware that it takes aroximately six weeks from the test date for scores to be forwarded); and three letters of recommendation from individuals who can evaluate the alicant s otential for successful graduate study. *The General GRE (available now only as a comuterized test) must have been taken by the alication deadline. If you intend to take a Psychology GRE that is scheduled at a time that falls shortly after our deadline, lease contact the Deartment to determine if we will accet results of that exam. Advancement to Candidacy Each student must file an alication for Advancement to Candidacy, indicating a roosed rogram of graduate study. This rocedure should begin as soon as the classified graduate student has: removed any deficiencies in admission requirements; comleted at least 12 units of 200-level courses in the graduate rogram with a minimum 3.0 GPA; selected a Thesis or Project committee; obtained the committee s aroval of a roosal for the thesis or roject (as indicated by committee members signatures on the deartment s thesis/ roject aroval form); and assed the Writing Proficiency Examination (WPE) or secured aroval for a WPE waiver. california state university, sacramento sychology / 567
