Advising
Welcome to Arizona State University's Online Master of Science program in Psychology. We have designed this program to give our students a strong, course-based foundation in the modern field of psychology. Our program emphasizes quantitative methodology, statistical analysis, research methods, professional development, and theory of psychology. We offer a variety of elective courses on a wide range of psychology topics (including cognitive, developmental, health, and social psychology). The majority of students completing the online MS program will use the degree for career advancement in psychology-related fields in government, education, behavioral health, and marketing.
About the Program
This is an online program that requires 36 credit hours of coursework, including a capstone course. Our students receive training in advanced research methods and statistics, and can take elective seminar courses in several areas of psychology.
Recommended Course Load
As a general rule, we recommend that students working full-time limit their course work to 3 credit hours (one course) per session. This allows a student to complete 2 courses per semester and complete the program in less than 24 months. Students can accelerate their time to completion and complete as many as 6 credit hours (two courses) per session. This allows a student to complete 4 courses per semester and complete the program in approximately 12 months.
