Does VCU accept part-time students?
Not in the graduate psychology programs. Because of the course work and other demands placed on students to complete their degree in a timely fashion, it would probably be a disadvantage to do so for the first three years in a program. After obtaining the master’s degree, most students do become part time. Our graduate students are not permitted to have jobs outside of their work in the program because of the high demands that are placed on students’ time and energy. Students are provided with funding through the program for the first three years, which includes payment of tuition and a stipend in exchange for the students’ work in an assistantship.
