The Master of Arts (M.A.) in Psychology at St. John's provides you with a broad background of psychological knowledge and tools as preparation for more advanced work in the field. The program is heavily research-oriented providing you with a solid foundation to pursue many other fields of inquiry. The M.A. program requires the satisfactory completion of 33 credits and offers the option to complete a thesis. Students in the thesis track register for PSY 900 for two semesters. Students in the non-thesis track take two additional electives in lieu of PSY 900 and register for the comprehensive exam, PSY 105, during their final semester. Students must also choose between two tracks of study: Social and Developmental Processes, and Cognitive and Behavioral Processes
