The Department of Psychology houses a Ph.D. program in Clinical and Counseling Psychology and a Master of Science program with an applied track and an experimental track. The Clinical and Counseling program is a scientist-practitioner program providing training in both the asset-strength model traditionally associated with counseling psychology and the research orientation and training in providing treatment for serious psychopathology traditionally associated with clinical psychology. The Master of Science program provides students with the advanced training in basic psychological knowledge. The experimental emphasis in the Master of Science program is designed to give students the theoretical and research background that will allow them to further pursue graduate study. The applied emphasis in the Master of Science program will provide students with knowledge in the basic areas of psychology as well as training in current theories, principles and methods of applied psychology. Some students in the applied emphasis will receive early admission to the doctoral program in Clinical and Counseling Psychology and it is expected that others will apply to for this doctoral program upon completing the applied Masters or will apply to doctoral programs at other universities. |
