General Information and Program
Mission
The mission of the Educational Psychology Program is to offer students
a unique opportunity to apply the principles of experimental psychology
to the systematic study of education. Majoring in educational psychology
allows the student to emphasize content areas such as learning, instruction,
cognition, motivation, life-span development, applied behavior analysis
and socialization. The educational psychology program at the Masters level
prepares students to pursue a variety of career paths, including research,
evaluation, and the applied practice of a number of disciplines, including
K-12 instruction. The educational psychology program at the Doctoral level
prepares students for careers in teaching in schools, colleges, and universities;
as researchers in state and city departments of education; and professionals
in training research programs in government and industry. Students wishing
to pursue careers in helping professions such as school psychology, counseling,
or psychotherapy should contact the GSU Department
of Counseling and Psychological Services.
