kittyoverthemoon Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Just got an idea about my options for graduate study. I know of the Gallatin School at NYU that lets you completely design your own MA program around any areas of study that you are interested in pursuing. I was wondering if there might be any other programs that any of you are attending? My interest is in cognitive psychology of music/auditory neuroscience and evolutionary psychology (both interdisciplinary in themselves), so I'm looking for a program that might get me a little of cognitive neuroscience, ethology, behavioral ecology, and music studies, for example. My background as related to my future goals is really only 4 courses in psychology that made up my undergraduate minor, so I am not sure if I'll ever be ready to apply to a PhD program before I take more courses on my specific interests (I am currently in a cognitive science lab at my alma mater, but I'd still like to have the course training). Thanks!
darklullaby Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 George Mason has that degree, and offers a neuroscience focus. I don't know anything about it but one of my undergrad profs graduated from it. http://mais.gmu.edu/programs/LA-MAIS-ISIN
Neist Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 University of Oklahoma has a program like that too. I'm not sure how common these programs are, but they have to be in quite a few schools. I couldn't find a page for it, but here's the application packet for the MA (there's a PhD program as well). http://www.ou.edu/content/dam/gradweb/documents/Forms_and_packets/Masters/Interdisciplinary_Masters_Proposal.pdf I can't imagine these programs are rare, but, at least in the cause of OU, it doesn't seem to be well-advertised.
