The majority of students seeking masters degrees in experimental psychology at UW Oshkosh were psychology majors as undergraduates; however, several students earned bachelors degrees in non-psychology fields. Our students are active in research with a variety of faculty and some of these projects are supported by graduate assistantships. The two most common reasons students attend this program are: 1) to get some graduate school experience before entering into a Ph.D. program or 2) to enhance their options in the workplace by earning an advanced degree. The students benefit from the full-time nature of the program in that this increases opportunities for interactions with a greater number of faculty.

 

Alumni of the Experimental Program are employed in a wide variety of settings or choose to attend doctoral programs. Some positions held by alumni include: Study Coordinator (Children's Hospital/Medical College of Wisconsin), Consumer Use Study Manager (Kimberly Clark), Facility Director (J Recker & Associates), Case Manager & Outcome Specialist (Family Services), Data Analyst (TrustSolutions), Research Associate (Columbia University; UW Madison; UW Oshkosh), Clinical Research Manager (Neurognostics; PPD), Statistical Analyst Programmer (Performance Data).
