Educational Psychology

The master of arts degree program in educational psychology offers concentrations in development and personality, research and evaluation, and educational media and technology. The mission of the educational psychology program is to prepare the educator as a practitioner and researcher. The focus is on the application of psychological theories, principles and concepts to school and non-school settings.

The development and personality concentration provides knowledge about human development, personality, and learning, and helps students to apply these concepts to a variety of environments. Students analyze issues regarding individual differences within the classroom and other educational settings, thereby creating situations that enhance the motivation and capacity for learning. 

More information on development and personality.

The research and evaluation concentration emphasizes educational assessments and evaluations, research methodology, and a variety of data analysis procedures. Students design and implement studies in educational settings, including assessments of student outcomes in instruction. In additions, students develop skills in the use of microcomputer application software. Also, this program provides a foundation for the pursuit of advanced degrees in educational psychology and allied fields.
