Graduate students in the Psychological Science MA program need to complete an independent research project. Graduate students in the Marriage and Family Therapy MS program have the option to complete an independent research project. For this they have the choice between a Master's Thesis (PSYC 699T) or a Professional Paper: Empirical Research Manuscript (PSYC 697P, also known as the ERM). All Master's Theses can be found in the Chico Digital Repository(opens in new window). The Professional Paper: Empirical Research Manuscript is an option that is specific for the Psychological Department, with its own syllabus (PDF). All Empirical Research Manuscripts that have been completed and submitted to the department thus far are listed on this page.
