Master of Science - Clinical Psychology

The Master of Science in Clinical Psychology students receive instruction in the application of the R statistical programming language and a survey of statistics focused on regression and data visualization.

Students in the second year of coursework enroll in a semester long research seminar that guides them in a step-by-step process in conducting their own faculty-mentored independent research or thesis project. Students select a topic of their choosing and build their project from the bottom up in an intimate, small classroom setting.

Although each topic is unique, students are encouraged to explicitly incorporate elements of replication in their work in order to support psychology as a cumulative science that grows through replication and confirmation. Consistent with the values of open science, students also complete a pre-registration and openly share their material with the global research community using the latest technology in conducting statistical analyses.
