Students enrolled in Walden University’s M.S. in Psychology program are required to complete all degree requirements for that program (including the thesis) and must be accepted into one of Walden’s Ph.D. in Psychology specializations before taking any other courses that will count toward the doctoral degree. Students who complete Walden’s M.S. in Psychology degree and then matriculate into Walden’s Ph.D. in Psychology program will not have to repeat any courses required for the Ph.D. program that were completed (with a B or better) during the M.S. in Psychology program. Students must meet the minimum admission requirements for the Ph.D. program, as specified in the current catalog.
