Texas State to offer Master’s in Psychology, Engineering

SAN MARCOS – Texas State University will soon offer master’s degrees in engineering and psychology. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board approved a new Master of Arts degree in psychological research and a preliminary proposal for a Master of Science in engineering.

The master’s degree offered through the Psychology Department will be available to students starting in fall 2013. The degree will provide students statistical training and solid writing skills they may not have developed on the bachelor’s level.

The engineering department has met the funds criteria and other conditions and is now approved to continue developing the advanced syllabi and curriculum. When the final proposal is approved for the master’s in engineering, the projected date for enrollment is August 2014.
