The Psychology Department at UMBC is excited to introduce a series of virtual Open Houses for prospective graduate students to meet with our Graduate Program Coordinator and talk about our Ph.D. programs in Human Services Psychology, Applied Developmental Psychology and the M.A. in Human Services Psychology – Applied Behavior Analysis track.

The meetings will be virtual and conducted via WebEx.

Our Open Houses are meant to be informal and informational. Starting with introductions, then talking about the specifics of each of our graduate programs, the admission process, discussing special topics relevant to students this year, and funding plans.
