Masters at Bucknell

Please share this message with undergraduates. The M.S. program aims to prepare students for Ph.D. programs. Students who enroll in the program often are looking for additional research experience, time to clarify their professional goals, or are seeking a terminal Masters degree.

Bucknell’s Master’s program in psychology is a full-time, two-year program in general-experimental psychology that leads to the M.S. degree. Our program is small and selective, as we accept 2-3 students per year. Many students who graduate from our program continue on to a Ph.D. In recent years, graduates have enrolled in doctoral programs in many areas of psychology--clinical, cognitive, human development, neuroscience, social, behavioral medicine, and others.

We seek out applicants who are committed to conducting high-quality empirical research and who wish to be active, contributing members of a department community. Our master’s students typically receive a full tuition remission plus a stipend for serving as a TA. For the 2008-2009 academic year, the stipend was $8800. Each semester, students take two courses, conduct research with their advisor, and serve as a Teaching Assistant, typically in our Introductory or Statistics course.

Potential applicants may contact those faculty whose interests seem to offer a good match. With questions about the program, contact the coordinator of the master’s program, Prof. Bill Flack (570-577-1131), wflack@bucknell.edu). The departmental secretary is Ms. Kay Ocker (ocker@bucknell.edu, 570-577-1200).

Thanks
