Is there a program where you can obtain your M.A in psychology in only one year?

I have heard from a few people that there is now a program where you can obtain your Masters in Psychology in just two semesters. However, I am unsure whether this option exists. I have currently been going to school for a while now, far too long than expected. It would be absolutely amazing to do this program if it does exits. I certainly can go to my advisor and talk to her about it but I figured maybe I can get a response off of this. Someone please let me know! #graduate-school #masters

Hi Mitchel,


The Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences offers a one-year, eight-course program of study leading to the MA in Psychology that provides the flexibility to pursue a variety of areas in psychology, building on a common foundation of scientific methodologies. A particular strength of the program is in examining the application of psychology to various behavioral, cognitive, and societal issues. Most graduate-level courses offered by the department are open to MA students and all faculty are available for academic supervision. Faculty are actively engaged in psychological research, which provides ample opportunity for students to participate in ongoing projects.


The MA Program in Psychology attracts a widely diverse student body; in our recent classes, students have come from academic backgrounds ranging from the humanities to the physical sciences. It also attracts a large number of students from abroad as well as from various regions of the country. Boston University offers a supportive and stimulating environment for study.


Degree Requirements


Candidates for the MA in Psychology must complete a minimum of eight four-credit semester courses. Three of these courses are required: the Proseminar (PS 704); a course in quantitative methods; and a directed study (PS 901/2) in which students work with a faculty supervisor and undertake an independent project. In addition, students must fulfill the comprehensive requirement by taking a minimum of one course from two of the four programmatic knowledge areas (please see the Graduate Student Handbook).
