Coursework for M.A. evaluation concentration
6
credits in a related field: Students must take 6 credits in a related field. It is recommended
that these be one class in learning and one in social psychology
since these meet the EPSY core requirements. If these 6 credits are
outside of EPSY they also can be used to meet the external related
fields requirement. Evaluation classes from EdPA could also be used
to meet the external related fields requirement.
