Psychology, Clinical Concentration, MA

The Psychology MA program addresses personnel needs across the state, region and nation by offering concentrations in clinical and general psychology.

This concentration prepares students to become licensed psychological associates as defined by the North Carolina Practice Act. Students who successfully complete the clinical concentration will be eligible to take the licensure exam.

Applicants admitted to either the clinical or general concentration will experience a rigorous academic program in which students are expected to exhibit ethical behavior, work diligently to develop competencies in the chosen area, complete a thesis and matriculate to degree in two or three years.

Graduate students will master research skill sets through their participation in experiences focusing either on qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods. Grantsmanship and research dissemination at conferences and authorship of manuscripts for publication further hone research skills.
