Master of Science in Educational Psychology

The field of educational psychology seeks to answer these critical questions by integrating the science of learning with psychology, education, and related disciplines.
And here at George Mason's College of Education and Human Development (CEHD), our Educational Psychology program bridges theory, research and practice to uncover how people learn across diverse settings. Grounded in psychological sciences and educational research, this program equips students to analyze how motivation, culture, and environments shape learning, and to apply that understanding to real-world instructional contexts and educational challenges.
Whether you're a teacher seeking to advance your career, a researcher drawn to evidence-based problem-solving, or a professional interested in how people think and grow, George Mason's Educational Psychology programs offer flexible pathways to meet your goals. Choose from master's doctoral, certificate or accelerated Bachelor's-to-Master's options designed to align with your professional interests and deliver measurable impact in classrooms, organizations, and communities.
