Program Overview

The applied Clinical Master's MA and MS programs provide students with coursework in psychopathology, diagnosis, intellectual and personality assessment, therapeutic interventions with clinical populations, data analysis and research methodology. Practicum training and supervision in clinical settings are required during the second year of training.

The clinical program provides students with an academic foundation for further doctoral work in clinical or counseling psychology, or for work in a variety of clinical settings. The percentage of our students who have been accepted to Ph.D. programs in clinical or counseling psychology and Psy.D. programs is consistent with the national average. Courses in the clinical concentration may or may not meet individual state requirements for the coursework required for licensure at the Master's level. It is recommended that students check with the state in which they will reside for specific licensure requirements.

Job opportunities for graduates include community mental health centers, substance abuse rehabilitation clinics, domestic violence shelters, correctional facilities and hospitals.
