PSYCHOLOGY at Clemson University

The Master of Science degree in applied psychology is offered with a concentration in either human factors psychology or industrial and organizational psychology. Students select one or the other concentration during the application process. Both of these programs are designed to provide the student with the requisite theoretical foundations, skills in quantitative techniques and research design, and practical problem-solving skills necessary for either entering the workforce or continuing with his/her scholastic career. The MS program has three options: (1) an empirical thesis project, (2) a formal internship, and (3) research hours. Each of these constitutes six credits of coursework specific to that option, with all other program requirements being the same. The entire program consists of 39 hours designed to be completed in two academic years.
