Program Overview

Program Description:

The M.A. program has been designed to train competent professionals to provide an array of psychological services in a variety of settings. The program highlights what is relevant and innovative in the profession of psychology, while paying attention to the personal goals and needs of students. One of our primary objectives is to train students to meet the variety of challenges encountered in the field of psychology through the development of critical thinking skills. With this aim in mind, we have created a teaching environment in which students review and analyze current theories and research findings related to the practice of psychology. An additional goal is to help students learn to apply academic skills in real-world settings. 

PSYCHOLOGY TRACKS

There are three tracks in the MA in Psychology program: general psychology, program development and evaluation, and research.

GENERAL PSYCHOLOGY

The general psychology track is designed to prepare students for doctoral work by taking core courses in the area of psychological sciences, as well as specialized courses in the area of clinical psychology, ethics, and personality.  Students will also have the opportunity to take elective classes in an area of interest, such as forensic or health psychology. Graduates will be prepared to apply to doctoral programs (either Ph.D. or Psy.D.) in psychology.

PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT & EVALUATION

In addition to taking classes in the core areas of psychology, the program development and evaluation track will train students in project management and the process of developing programs.  Students will also learn how to use systematic methods to collect, analyze, and evaluate existing projects, policies, and programs.  Graduates will be able to be employed in social service agencies, government positions, non-profit organizations, and other business and commercial organizations.
