Overview
The goal of the Master of Arts in Psychological Research at Texas State University is to foster competence in the methodological foundations and conduct of psychological research across a wide variety of settings. The program is designed to be a 2-year, on-campus, full-time program of study. Focus is placed on learning interpersonal/research skills and statistical competencies relevant to the responsible and ethical conduct of both basic and applied psychological research.
Our faculty includes a diverse group of experts with specialized labs for electrophysiology, sleep, exercise, salivary analysis, eye-tracking and behavioral testing. Faculty areas of expertise include clinical, neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience, health psychology, quantitative psychology, developmental psychology and social psychology, among others.
**Although many graduates of the MA in Psychological Research program have gone on to doctoral programs in clinical psychology, our MA degree does not directly prepare students for licensure. If you are looking for a program that prepares future therapists for licensure, please contact the Department of Counseling, Leadership, Adult Education & School Psychology for information on their Professional Counseling program.**
