PSYC6997Master's Thesis (Optional)
All students are admitted at the Master's level in the first year. At the end of the first year, students are evaluated on their academic performance (students in the Clinical Program also are evaluated on their clinical potential), and a recommendation is made on whether they are admitted to the doctoral program. Although the expectation is that all students will proceed into the doctoral program, occasionally a student may not be admitted into the Ph.D. program. Students who are not recommended to proceed into the doctoral program may be permitted to continue their training education at the Master's level. This will require that they complete a Master's thesis. For these students, any research carried out in fulfillment of PSYC 6522 Research II may be considered toward fulfillment of the Master's thesis.
