General Information
A Master of Science degree program in applied psychology with a focus on industrial/organizational psychology or program evaluation is offered. A Master of Arts degree program with a specialization in preclinical, developmental, behavioral and cognitive neuroscience, social/personality or learning and cognition is available for persons who expect subsequently to pursue a Ph.D. degree. For students currently enrolled in the Ph.D. program, an M.S. in clinical psychology is offered. In addition, the Department of Psychology, jointly with the Department of Psychiatry, University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine, offers an APA-accredited program of graduate study leading to the Doctor of Philosophy degree in clinical psychology with
specialization in behavioral medicine, neuropsychology, or experimental psychopathology. A scientist-practitioner training model serves as a guide for the experiences provided for doctoral students. It is expected that graduates of this program will be prepared to serve as scientists, innovators, and leaders in the eld of clinical psychology. The doctoral program requires that students spend a minimum of ve calendar years in study and research. In the rst four years, doctoral students must complete their prescribed coursework satisfactorily as well as engage in research and a series of clinical practica. In the last year of the program all students must complete a 12-month APA-accredited clinical internship. The department has a strong scientic research orientation, and emphasizes the masters degree as preparation for doctoral work. Students in all programs must take an advanced statistics/experimental design course sequence and produce an empirical research thesis. The department awards approximately 30 masters degrees annually. A substantial proportion of the graduates who apply go on to enroll in doctoral work at well-known universities. The clinical psychology faculty staff a Psychology Clinic for graduate clinical training and service to the metropolitan San Diego community.

Section I. Masters Degree Programs Admission to Graduate Study
Admission to the Psychology Departments masters program involves a two-step process. Applicants must le one application with the University, and a separate application package with the Psychology Department. 1. For admission to the University, all students must satisfy the general requirements for classied graduate standing, as described in Part Two of this Bulletin. Applications to the University can be found at http://www.csumentor.edu; they can be lled out on the computer and submitted electronically. NOTE: Admission to the University does not guarantee admission to the Psychology Department. 2. To be considered for admission to the Psychology Departments programs, applicants must satisfy particular department requirements. These requirements and instructions for completing the department application package are shown below. The department application form is available at http://www.psychology.sdsu.edu. Students are admitted to the masters programs in the fall semester only. To qualify for admission to the masters programs in psychology, the student must have: 1. A. For the M.A. program: An undergraduate major in psychology (or coursework equivalent to the SDSU bachelors degree) consisting of at least 24 upper division units with a grade point average of at least 3.0. The major must include classes in general psychology, learning, physiological psychology, statistical methods, psychological testing and measurement, and at least one laboratory course or the equivalent in psychology. In addition, the student must have completed three of the following classes: developmental psychology, introduction to research methods, intermediate statistics, social psychology, abnormal psychology, psychology of personality, cognitive psychology, or sensation and perception. Six units of upper division psychology electives, which may be from the above list, are also required. B. For the M.S. applied program: An undergraduate major in psychology (or coursework equivalent to the SDSU bachelors degree) consisting of at least 24 upper division units with a grade point average of at least 3.0. The major must include classes in general psychology, learning, statistical methods, psychological testing and measurement, intermediate statistics or research methods, and at least one class providing research experience in psychology. In addition, the student must have completed three of the following classes: developmental psychology, social psychology, abnormal psychology, psychology of personality, cognitive psychology, industrial/organizational psychology, experimental psychology with laboratory, or sensation and perception. Six units of upper division psychology electives, which may be from the above list, are also required. 2. A grade point average of not less than 3.0 in the last 60 semester units of the undergraduate program. 3. A minimum score above the 50th percentile rank on both the verbal and quantitative sections of the GRE General Test. 4. A score above the 50th percentile rank on the GRE Subject (Advanced) Test in Psychology. The student should take this test as well as the GRE General Test in sufcient time so that the results will be available prior to the application deadline. It should be requested by the student that the score reports for these tests be forwarded directly to the SDSU Ofce of Graduate Admissions (SDSU code: 4682). Meeting all of the indicated criteria does not guarantee admission to the program, since admission is also dependent on the facilities and resources available in the department.
The following materials should be submitted as a complete package directly to the Department of Psychology: (1) The completed application for admission to the Department of Psychology masters program, and the completed application for an assistantship, if this type of nancial support is desired. The department application may be obtained by contacting the Department of Psychology, or at http://www.psychology.sdsu.edu. Include a brief statement with your reasons for pursuing graduate study (VI. Statement of Purpose). (2) Two sets of ofcial transcripts (in sealed envelopes) from each issuing institution. This includes all degree transcripts and a transcript from the last institution attended. The transcripts must reect the last 60 semester (90 quarter) units attempted. Students with international coursework must submit all ofcial transcripts and proof of degree. If certicates and transcripts are not in English, they should be accompanied by certied English translations; (3) Three letters of recommendation (in sealed and signed envelopes returned to the applicant) from persons familiar with the applicants academic performance. Mail or deliver your complete application package to: Department of Psychology (Attention: Graduate Adviser) San Diego State University 5500 Campanile Drive San Diego, CA 92182-4611 The completed package must be received by the Department of Psychology by February 1. NOTE: Students must also take the GRE General Test and the GRE Subject (Advanced) Test in Psychology. Examination scores should be sent to SDSU, not to the Department of Psychology (SDSU code: 4682). The GRE should be taken by November to meet the Department of Psychology application deadline of February 1. If the students postsecondary instruction is in a language other than English, he/she must take the TOEFL; these scores should be sent to the University. Students applying to both the SDSU/UCSD Joint Doctoral Program and the SDSU Masters Program are required to le only one University application and pay only one fee, which would cover both programs. However, separate departmental applications, one for the masters program and one for the doctoral program, must be led if the student wishes to be considered for both programs.
Advancement to Candidacy
The student must satisfy the general requirements for advancement to candidacy as stated in Part Two of this bulletin. Having obtained three grades of C or lower in graduate courses automatically precludes advancement to candidacy. In addition, students must have an approved thesis proposal prior to advancement to candidacy.
General Requirements for all Masters Degree Programs
In addition to meeting the basic requirements for the masters degree as described in Part Two of this bulletin, the student must complete a graduate program of at least 30 units (36-38 units for the Master of Science degree). Only classied graduate students are permitted to enroll in any 600-numbered (or higher) courses in psychology. The departmental graduate adviser must approve all programs of study except the Master of Science in clinical psychology. For the Master of Science in clinical psychology, departmental approval is done by the program director of the joint doctoral program.
286
Psychology
Psychology 670A-670B or 770A-770B are required in all masters degree programs in the Department of Psychology. In addition, for all degrees other than the Master of Science in Clinical Psychology, Psychology 600 (Research Orientation), Psychology 799A (Thesis), and an oral examination on the thesis are also required.
Section II. Doctoral Program
http://www.psychology.sdsu.edu/doctoral
Specic Requirements for the Master of Arts Degree
(Major Code: 20011) The Master of Arts degree requires the completion of a minimum of 30 units in psychology to include Psychology 501, 670A-670B or 770A-770B, two units of 600, one unit of 797, and 799A. Students must also select at least one from the following pairs of core courses: Psychology 745 or 751, 587 or 632, 561 or 760, as well as two electives. In special cases, and by petition to the departments graduate committee, students may take up to six units of the required 30 units in 500level and above courses in other departments. All new Master of Arts degree students are required to take one unit of Psychology 600 during their rst semester and another unit during their second semester.
Admission to Doctoral Study
(Major Code: 20031) Detailed instructions for applying to the program, along with all necessary forms, are located on the SDSU/UCSD Joint Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology webpage, which can be found at http:// www.psychology.sdsu.edu/doctoral/. Please review and follow these instructions carefully. Specic questions not answered by these materials should be e-mailed to [e-mail]. To be considered for admission to the joint SDSU-UCSD doctoral program in clinical psychology, students must meet the general requirements for admission to both universities with classied graduate standing as outlined in the respective current catalogs. These include (a) an acceptable baccalaureate degree from an institution accredited by a regional accrediting association or equivalent academic preparation, as determined by the graduate deans of the two institutions; (b) a minimum overall grade point average of 3.0; (c) a grade point average of at least 3.25 in the last 60 semester (90 quarter) units attempted; (d) good standing at the last institution attended; and (e) a minimum score of 550 verbal and 550 quantitative on the GRE Aptitude Test and a score above the 85th percentile on the GRE Advanced Test in Psychology. However, given the large number of applicants in the eld of clinical psychology, the selection process is designed to identify the best from among many highly qualied applicants. Thus no minimum set of qualications in any way guarantees admission. Personal interviews will be conducted with the most promising applicants. Admission of any candidate who deviates from the minimum standards can only be granted with special permission of both graduate deans. No faculty member has authority to make an offer of a position in the program to any applicant, implied or otherwise, without nal recommendation of the program directors and approval of the graduate deans. Applicants must submit a copy of all transcripts of previous college work, three letters of recommendation, and score reports for the Graduate Record Examination General Test and Graduate Record Examination Advanced Test in Psychology. Although an undergraduate psychology major is not mandatory for admission, applicants should have completed a minimum of 18 semester units (27 quarter units) in psychology including courses in physiological psychology, statistical methods, psychological testing, abnormal psychology, personality, social psychology, and an experimental laboratory in psychology. Advanced courses in perception and learning are desirable as are courses in biology, mathematics, linguistics, and other related areas (e.g., medical physics, computer sciences). The joint doctoral program is a year around program. An option for Ph.D. students in clinical psychology is to concurrently pursue the Master of Public Health (MPH) degree in the Graduate School of Public Health. Students jointly enrolled will rst be accepted into the psychology program and then be recommended by the psychology program for admission to the MPH program. Students may be recommended at any time prior to receiving their doctoral degree. Following acceptance into the MPH degree, students must complete all required core classes as well as requirements for a particular specialization (health promotion, epidemiology, and health services administration and/or occupational/environmental health). A specially designed program of study that incorporates requirements from both degree programs has been developed. Subsequent to coursework, MPH candidates are required to complete a comprehensive examination in their area of study. (For more information, see the section of this bulletin under Public Health.) Students will be admitted to graduate programs in psychology only in the fall semester. All application material must be received by the doctoral program ofce and the SDSU Ofce of Graduate Admissions not later than December 15 for the Ph.D. program.
Specic Requirements for the Master of Science Degree
(Major Code: 20011) The Master of Science degree may be obtained with the following concentrations: 1.

Psychology
Specic Degree Requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree in Clinical Psychology
The student is guided by requirements for the doctoral degree program given in Part Two of this Bulletin. The core curriculum will normally be completed during the rst two years. Completion of this core insures that students have a general background in empirical psychology (e.g., physiological, social, cognitive-affective, and individual bases of behavior); knowledge of conceptualizations of personality and psychopathology; an awareness and appreciation of professional ethics and conduct; awareness and appreciation of multicultural issues in an increasingly multicultural society; knowledge of the theory and techniques of psychological assessment; knowledge of therapeutic interventions, acquisition of therapeutic skills, and a minimum of 1,000 hours of supervised clinical experience; and competence in research methods. Specic courses providing this background at SDSU include Psychology 757, 770A-770B, 801, 840, 849, 850, 855, 856, 860, 896; Clinical Psychology 295 and 202E (Psychopathology) at UCSD. During the second year, students will select a research topic for a second year project, which is similar to a masters thesis. Students are responsible for conducting all phases of this project under the supervision of their joint guidance committee. Students may also elect to obtain a masters degree by completing requirements for the Master of Science degree. After completing the basic two-year core, work in subsequent years will diverge for students in each of the three specialty areas: behavioral medicine, experimental psychopathology, and neuropsychology. All students must take the one-unit seminar in neuropsychology. Students specializing in behavioral medicine are required to take Psychology 842, Behavioral Medicine Seminar: Assessment, in the fall and Psychology 843, Behavioral Medicine Seminar: Intervention, in the spring of the third year. Students taking experimental psychopathology are required to take Psychology 852, Seminar in Experimental Psychopathology Research, in the fall of the third or fourth year. Students in neuropsychology are required to take Clinical Psychology 205, Neuroanatomy and Clinical Psychology 294, Seminar in Neuropsychology, offered at UCSD. In the fourth year, students are expected to submit and defend a dissertation proposal. Many students will also collect the data for and begin writing the dissertation during this year. The fth year is reserved for the completion of a doctoral dissertation and a full-time clinical internship that is identied by the student and the joint guidance committee. are Students expected to maintain the highest standards of academic performance. Students must maintain a minimum 3.0 grade point average. According to doctoral program policy, falling below a 3.0 GPA automatically places a student on academic probation. A student may not remain on academic probation for more than one year. In addition, three grades below a B (i.e., a B or lower or No Credit) are grounds for dismissal from the program without further qualication regardless of a students overall GPA. In clinical psychology, adherence to the Ethical Principles of Psychologists (APA, Amended, 1992) is mandatory. Students who knowingly or unknowingly violate any part of the ethical code may be dismissed from the program without further qualication regardless of coursework, research, or other academic achievement. A copy of the ethical code is distributed to students at their initial orientation. Prior to advancement to candidacy, students will be required to sign a statement of understanding that 1) the doctoral faculty will communicate with the clinical internship agency all information relevant to the students academic and professional qualications for placement and continuation in the internship and 2) the student understands that the clinical internship must be satisfactorily completed before graduation.
