The two recently signed an agreement which “will give CSU students a new, exciting avenue of learning with the acceptance of our bachelor’s degree by UWA toward its master’s degree in psychology,” explained Lavinia Sparkman, Ph.D., academic program director for psychology at CSU. The articulation agreement between the universities allows CSU students to use their psychology degree toward the application process of UWA’s master’s program.
“We are happy to work with CSU as this agreement will provide us a new group of diversified students who carry unique life experiences,” said UWA College of Liberal Arts Dean Mark Davis.
“UWA will provide enhanced training in psychology to broaden and strengthen CSU students’ bachelor’s degrees. Our research shows that a master’s degree in experimental psychology can greatly improve students' opportunities at the doctoral level and with potential employers, and we are happy to play a part in providing the knowledge and skill they need to be successful.”
