Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology (PYCM)

The Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology is designed to provide broad and general scientist-practitioner training that is decidedly cognitive-behavioral and contemporary behavior analytic in orientation. The research activity of the master’s student is continuous and is encouraged through participation in the apprentice research program. The student is required to complete core methods courses. The master’s student will also show evidence of an ability to interpret, integrate, and discuss research data by the satisfactory completion of a research project. The clinical training of the student is accomplished via coursework in relevant foundational and core clinical domains as well as through extensive supervised practical experience. These practical experiences occur in our campus clinic.

In addition to meeting the entrance requirements of the Graduate College, applicants are expected to show evidence of interest in and aptitude for conducting research.

Graduate students receive a personal appointment of a master’s chairperson and two faculty sponsors to facilitate the full development of the student’s academic interests within the research programs of the department and the University. The program is arranged to encourage active participation in the daily conduct of the department’s academic program and research activities.
