Program Requirements
Following is a partial overview of important information,
and follow the detailed instructions in the attached graduate school guidelines.
Master’s Program Major Requirements
- Students should acquire the required course credits within 2 to 3 years (excluding leave of absence).
- Students majoring in clinical and counseling psychology should earn 30 credits or more, while other fields require 24 credits or more.
- Students should earn 6 credits of thesis research course. 3 credits could be earned per each semester.
- Advanced Psychological Statistics (207.501) is a mandatory course that must be completed.
-
Courses offered by other departments may be taken upon consultation with the academic advisor, based on their relevance to the student’s research, and in principle may not exceed 50% of the total credits required for graduation. In other words, at least 50% of the credits required for graduation must be completed through major courses offered by the Department of Psychology. When calculating the total credits required for graduation, the remaining credits are determined by excluding thesis research credits(207.803) from the required completion credits for each program.
For example, in the master’s program, students must complete at least 9 credits of major courses (excluding thesis research courses(207.803)) for non-clinical tracks, and at least 12 credits for the clinical track. -
To have credits earned from other departments recognized as major courses, they must be classified as 'Major Electives' or 'Major Required' courses in the graduate school curriculum. (Occasionally, there may be courses from other graduate programs that are classified under different names, such as 'General Electives,' 'Common Competencies,' or 'Education,' and these courses will not be recognized as completion credits.)
However, the course "Principles and Applications of Data Science (M2480.001100)" can be recognized as necessary credits for graduation upon consultation with the advisor (applied retroactively starting from the 2nd semester of the 2021 academic year, based on the decision made in the Departmental Faculty Meeting in September 2022).
Ph.D. Program Major Requirements
- Students should acquire the required course credits within 2 to 5 years (excluding leave of absence).
- Students should earn 36 credits or more after entering the Ph.D. program. For students majoring in clinical and counseling psychology, however, only credits exceeding 30 from the recognized master's program credits will be recognized as doctoral program credits.
- The courses required for completion of the doctoral program shall be determined in consultation with the academic advisor.
- Students should earn 12 credits of thesis research course. 3 credits could be earned per each semester.
- Advanced Psychological Statistics (207.501) is a mandatory course that must be completed. If you have already earned credits for this course during the master's program, it will be recognized as having fulfilled the requirement for the mandatory course.
- Courses offered by other departments may be taken upon consultation with the academic advisor, based on their relevance to the student’s research, and in principle may not exceed 50% of the total credits required for graduation. That is, at least 50% of the credits required for graduation must be completed through major courses in the Department of Psychology. When calculating the credit requirements for graduation, the remaining credits are determined by excluding thesis research credits(207.803) from the required completion credits for each program.
For example, in the doctoral program, students must complete at least 12 credits of major courses (excluding thesis research courses(207.803)).
