graduate programs.

 

Graduate training is offered in six areas: Developmental, Industrial/Organizational, Psychobiology, School, Social/Personality, and Cognitive Psychology. A Master of Arts degree, which requires a thesis research project, is available in each of these areas. A Master of Science degree - representing a more applied focus - may be earned in either Industrial/Organizational or School Psychology. School Psychology also offers the Specialist in Education degree. The department grants Ph.D. degrees in three areas: Developmental and Industrial/Organizational Psychology and Psychobiology. Please see the specific program description of interest to you via the links to your left.

 

Financial aid for graduate students is available from a variety of sources. These include Teaching Assistantships (which include tuition plus a stipend of approximately $11,000), Research Assistantships (which include tuition and a stipend), and contract work conducted by faculty in private consulting roles. In all, approximately 50% of active graduate students receive financial aid. Teaching Assistantships are awarded on a competitive basis based on GPA and GRE scores. Research Assistantships and contract work are awarded by the individual faculty members who administer the projects.

The deadline for applications to all of our graduate programs is January 5. Please be aware that it takes two to three weeks for GRE scores to arrive at UNO.
