Need help finding a psychology masters program in northeast

[psychology22]

Hey, just wanted to thank you in advance for any help you guys could give me.  Anyway, I have been applying to social psychology PhD programs but in case my credentials are not up to par, I would also like to apply to masters programs (particularly in NY, NY Boston area)  I was just wondering if anybody knew of any masters programs in psychology that were reasonably priced (aka not 30,000 dollars a year)?  Any help would be greatly appreciated

Check the individual CUNY schools, or the CUNY Grad Center. I think their tuition is about $8,000 a year, give or take.

BU (tuition- aka $30k/year), BC (fully funded but very competitive, I think they took 2 people the year I applied and they were both straight from the PhD applicant pool), Drexel (Philly- great research program, tuition but you can work as a TA and some other jobs on campus to lessen the burden of tuition), Villanova (suburbs of Philly- some funding + stipend offers). Those are all the master's programs I found in Philly and Boston when I applied two years ago.

For social psychology PhD programs, what would be far more useful than a MA in psychology is 2 years spent as a research assistant, lab manager, or project coordinator in a psychology lab (or a related field - cognitive science, psychiatry, public health, etc.)

 

But yes, barring that I would look into public universities.  For the CUNY system in New York, Hunter, City, and Queens Colleges have an MA in psychology; Queens College has an MA in applied behavior analysis; Brooklyn College has an MA in experimental psychology.  Also, Brooklyn and Queens Colleges offer an MSED in School Psychology, if you're interested in research with children, but that will mostly teach you to practice school psych.

 

For SUNY, SUNY-New Paltz offers an MA in psychology and it is about 1.5 hours north of New York.  SUNY-Buffalo, Geneseo, Oswego, and Plattsburgh also all offer MAs in psychology, but they are a bit further afield of the city.

 

In the Boston area, Bridgewater State offers an MA in psychology.  UMass-Boston may, too, but their webpage is loading far too slowly for me to find out.
