Master of Science in Psychology

Research is your passion – and the human mind and its complexities are what drive you. You want to understand how someone’s thoughts, feelings, beliefs, intentions, and goals are constructed within a social context – and you want to use that data to affect change. A Master of Science in the Psychology program at the University of Texas at San Antonio is the right fit for you. A research-focused program is designed to prepare you for a Ph.D. program or for a career in applied research settings.

An MS in Psychology will prepare you for employment in the private and public sectors conducting research for health science centers, test and measures companies, or the military. You’ll also gain skills employers want: critical thinking, top-notch research skills, problem-solving, oral and written communication skills, and a thorough understanding of the human mind.
