The Department of Psychology offers either the Master of Arts or the Master of
Science degree in general psychology and in clinical psychology. A joint
objective of both graduate programs is to provide graduate study whereby the
student can seek career opportunities in governmental agencies, teach in
two-year colleges, or pursue doctoral level study in psychology or related
fields. An additional objective of the program in clinical psychology is to
train the student in the areas of psychodiagnostics and psychotherapeutic
techniques where these skills can be utilized in a community setting to include
comprehensive care centers, schools and mental hospitals.
The curriculum has been developed to provide exposure to the breadth of
psychology as well as intensive study of those areas which are currently of
greatest concern in the field. In addition, work in statistics and research
design is provided and participation in research is encouraged. The program in
clinical psychology is accredited by the Masters in Psychology Accreditation
Council.
Psychology graduate courses are offered on a regularly scheduled rotation.
Assuming no undergraduate course deficiencies, it is possible for a student to
complete the general psychology program in one year and the clinical psychology
program in two years.
