Welcome

Thank you for your interest in the Master's in General Psychology Program at the University of Hartford. Our program aims to produce well-rounded master’s-level psychologists through a strong foundation in methods and content of psychology. In addition, the program allows students to develop their training in one or more subspecialties that they might envision as a professional goal. Some students take this opportunity to “test the waters” of many different specialties such as industrial-organizational psychology, health psychology, and quantitative methods.
    Finally, students may choose between a thesis-track option and an applied-track option. The thesis track involves conducting an independent research project and should be seriously considered by students who intend to do doctoral work. The applied track involves supervised practical experience
in an organization or agency setting. This is usually considered by students
who wish to incorporate more practical experience in their program.
    The MA in General Psychology may be completed on a full- or part-time basis.
