Message from the Director
In application season, thousands of aspiring students will write a personal statement about the sources of their interests, preparatory experiences, and research goals. Simply put, they will explain how they have come to decide to pursue graduate study and where they hope to go. Some students who apply to the MSPS program have a well-formed idea of how psychological science can prepare them for their future career, but others seek to hone their interests. They don’t yet know where the road will lead.
