Master of Arts in Psychology - Social Psychology

New York University

The flexibility of the M.A. Program suits a broad range of students. Some students have decided on a particular focus when they enter our program, and take courses that fit these interests. However, students are not required to choose an area of focus. Some students enter our program with the intention of exploring the field of psychology. In these cases, students often take a variety of electives in order to see where their interests lie.We offer undergraduate, masters, and doctoral degrees. The undergraduate psychology major is one of the most popular at NYU. We offer two Ph.D. programs, Cognition & Perception, and Social Psychology, a Concentration in Developmental Psychology, and two M.A. programs, Psychology and Industrial/Organizational (I/O) Psychology. Research in our department spans a broad range of topics from the neural bases of perception and cognition to how goals, plans and motivations affect cognition and social interactions. Involvement in this research is the core of our graduate training, and a valuable opportunity for undergraduates planning to pursue scientific careers.
