Psychology Department
Colloquia Requirements
(MA-R)
MA-Research students who Advance to Candidacy Fall 1998 or later are required to attend 12 Psychology department colloquia. Six must be completed prior to going to Preliminary Orals, and all twelve must be attended before Final Orals.
MA-Research students who Advance to Candidacy Fall 2004 or later are required to attend 6 Psychology department colloquia. Four must be completed prior to going to Preliminary Orals, and all six must be attended before Final Orals.
It is suggested that a minimum of three to four colloquia be attended each semester. A schedule of the current semester's colloquia series is posted on the department web site, and flyers are posted around the Psychology building announcing each presentation.
Although it is preferred that you attend the Psychology Department's colloquia, on occasion MAR students may petition the MAR Committee to have related lectures/presentations hosted by other departments or at professional conferences count towards the attendance requirement. Please contact the Graduate Advisor to petition. Also, the MAR Committee will encourage attendance at certain Psychology Department or other related departments' events, with colloquia credit awarded for attendance. An email notification will be sent out for such events by the Graduate Advisor with appropriate details.
