How does full-time/part-time status affect financial aid?
Students deciding to complete the MA degree in three years typically still qualify for financial aid through the financial aid office. The Psychology department may consider a student taking three years to complete a master’s degree part time but the financial aid office and the graduate school will still classify you as full time as long as you are enrolled in 5 credits in the fall and spring semesters. Psychology degree requirements necessitate students enroll in 9 to 15 credits per semester full time and 5 to 7 credits part time.
