Abstract
The purpose was to ascertain the attitudes and opinions of former graduate students concerning the graduate program in psychology at MacMurray College The results based on such a limited sample suggest that there is minimal agreement among those who responded to the questionnaire concerning the values of specific courses in relation to employment. Approximately 50% of the graduates who responded to the questionnaire expressed a need for additional study in order to qualify and maintain positions they desired. It was felt that the responses were too closely divided to constitute a real difference of opinion positively or negatively where the “value” of a MA program in psychology at MacMurray was concerned. It was concluded that the MA in psychology from MacMurray had questionable “value” and was a limiting factor if professional advancement tended to hinge on such a terminal MA degree.
