Applications for the M.A. program are due by February 15, 2011. Applications must be submitted online by accessing the following website:

For questions regarding the application process, please contact Dr. Alvin Malesky (malesky@wcu.edu).
The M. A. program prepares students to attend a Ph.D. program in specialty areas of experimental psychology including social psychology. Through intensive research with faculty mentors and coursework, the M.A. program provides students with an informed basis for choosing a Ph.D. program as well as greater research skills, expertise in core areas of psychology, and credentials to pursue a doctoral degree.
