psy405 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I apologize if this question is dumb, but what is the typical schedule for a general psychology MA student? I expect the classes to be several hours, but will they be everyday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applicant4788 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hi! So, this will really depend on which University you attend and how they structure their program - it may be best to ask current students in the program about their schedule. In the Master's program that I attended, we had class four days a week for a maximum of one class (~2 hours) per day. The rest of the time was dedicated towards research or graduate assistantships. What schools are you considering? psy405 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psy405 Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 I'm strongly considering NCCU, but I have not been able to get in touch with any current students in the program. I have posted a question on this site to NCCU students as well and hope for a reply soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timemachines Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I think it of course depends on the nature of the masters program (1 year or 2) but when I completed my 1 year I had 2-3 classes max in a day and I actually usually had a class to attend every day of the week. I also had data collection/research so I was in the lab all day otherwise. It was well beyond a typical "9-5" but again this is specific to the program you choose and what you're hoping to accomplish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychNerdd Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Did you hear anything back from the question you posted on the website? I'm curious as I will be attending in the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psy405 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) No. No one has answered and I have to make my decision soon. Have you heard anything about the program? Edited April 3, 2018 by psy405 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much, I know a girl who is attending and her classes are in the evenings, normally 4-8pm and they were able to give her an assistantship. But unfortunately, I don't have a lot of details. Good luck with whatever school you choose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Chat Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 That depends on whether it is a self-scheduled or cohort model. A lot of the more organized/esteemed programs will have a cohort model of required classes planned out for you. When I was planning to go to a Master's in Counseling at a large school, we had classes during the day from about 9-3. My current program is a combination of day and evening, but some people are able to take evening only and work full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
