Master's Program
The Department has three programs leading to the MA degree, one in Experimental Psychology, one in Mental Health Counseling and one in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. The first is focused on research and, in terms of course work, is roughly equivalent to the first 30 credits of the Ph.D. degree. The second is an applied program leading to licensure for Mental Health Counseling. The third is an applied program with two tracks, one that focuses on Organizational Behavior and the other on Human Relations Training.
Graduates of the Experimental program tend to move into careers in pure or applied research or to continue with their education in doctoral programs. Graduates of the MHC program are prepared for careers in mental health agencies and private practice. Graduates of the I/O programs typically have careers in applied settings in human resources and human relations, management consulting, and organizational development, typically starting with entry-level executive positions. A significant number also go on to further graduate training.
