Considering graduate school and need a mentor? Register for the MPAGS mentoring program today!

The MPAGS Undergraduate Mentoring Program is a free service offered by the Maryland Psychological Association for Graduate Students (MPAGS), a section of the Maryland Psychological Association (MPA). The purpose of the program is to pair undergraduate students who are interested in the field of psychology with graduate students who have been though various stages and parts of psychology and can answer questions and provide support to undergraduates in their job searches or graduate school endeavors.

By participating in the MPAGS Undergraduate Mentoring Program, undergraduate students can hear first-hand experience about jobs in the field of psychology, the process of applying to graduate schools, and learn more about the different psychology disciplines (i.e., clinical, counseling, school, etc.) as well as the types of degrees (i.e., MA/MS, Psy.D., Ph.D., etc.) one can receive in the field. Undergraduate students who are majoring in psychology or are interested in pursuing a graduate school education or career in psychology are eligible to receive a mentor.

Currently, graduate students from a variety of graduate schools representing various education levels (i.e. MA/MS, Psy.D., Ph.D., etc.) in Maryland and other states, volunteer to participate as mentors for the program. MPAGS maintains a list of graduate student volunteers who represent a wide spectrum of experiences, education, specialties, and personal interests in psychology.
