Course Overview

There are two main reasons why students join the MS Psychology Program at Mercy University. The first is for career advancement with their current employer. Several employers encourage their employees to pursue a masters degree and provide incentives to do so. The second reason is to gain a broader depth of knowledge and experience in an effort to build a competitive resume for academic pursuits beyond the masters degree.
One of the cornerstones of the program is a yearlong research project in which students first conduct a thorough literature review, design a research study, and have it approved by the Institutional Review Board. Next, students implement their proposed project by recruiting participants, collecting and analyzing data, and writing up a final research report. In addition, students must complete a practicum requirement that engages students in real-world application of skills. Students may choose to complete their practicum in field settings, teaching, or research.
