University of Southern California-Master of Science in Applied Psychology

The Master of Science in Applied Psychology program focuses directly on two crucial areas of business: consumer psychology and organizational psychology. Other graduate programs may focus on one or the other, and business programs may focus on the economics of desired outcomes. Yet for businesses to succeed, understanding both consumer and employee psychology is crucial. Our unique program equips graduates to speak to both of these business challenges through the language and tools of psychology.

We offer students two options for completing our program:

MAPP Residential: Students engage in a 1-year intensive on-campus experience. MAPP’s residential courses are exclusive to students for that year's cohort.

MAPP Online: Students from across the country participate in an innovate online program that is completed in four semesters and as few as 16 months. Online students experience the same small class sizes taught by world-class faculty.
