Yeah, revise.

 

Masters programs are a two-year gig, especially if you're looking for funding.

What do you expect to be able to do with a Master's in Social Psych?

It's also notable that Harvard doesn't offer terminal masters degrees, so this title is confusing me.  Are you asking if Harvard is a good fit for you, or for some alternative program suggestions?

 

 

For other programs, there's the one at U of Chicago which is one-year iirc.

I think BU has a one-year program. I looked into it- seems like it would be a waste of time and money. Basically it's just classes that you pay a buttload of money for. Plus when you add up cost of rent and tuition fees, it's ridic expensive.

I don't want to say that finding a one-year terminal funded masters in social psychology where they do great research and have awesome parties is like finding a unicorn, but...

But it is.

Most psychology departments do not offer a terminal Master's degree, but some Education department do offer M.A. in counseling/ developmental psychology/ educational psychology. Check those out!
