The Department strongly encourages applications from women and minority groups.

Applicants with master's degrees from other schools:
There is no terminal master's degree program in Psychology at Texas A&M. Only students intending to complete a doctoral program should apply. We welcome applications from students who have completed a master's degree at another institution. Master's students will receive credit for their thesis if it consists of an empirical research study and meets departmental standards of quality. If not already defended and approved at the student's former institution, the thesis must be approved by the end of the student's first semester at Texas A&M.
