Psychological Science M.A.

The Psychological Science M.A. program prepares graduate students with research-based knowledge and skills essential to successful careers in organizational, educational, clinical, and counseling settings. The program has four integrated tracks: 1) clinical-counseling practice emphasis track; 2) clinical counseling research emphasis track; 3) experimental psychology track; and 4) industrial-organizational psychology track. The clinical-counseling research emphasis, experimental psychology, and industrial organizational psychology tracks are research tracks. The degree and research-based preparation of each of the three research tracks should facilitate graduates' admission into doctoral Psychology programs. The clinical counseling practice emphasis track is designed to provide the required coursework and skills training for graduates to be eligible for licensure as Licensed Professional Clinical-Counselors through the Minnesota Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy.
