Master of Science in Psychology - General Clinical

The Master of Science in Psychology - General Clinical program operates within a theoretical framework that believes that, at its core, human functioning involves intra- and interpersonal processes that occur within a developmental context. The program's coursework, clinical training, and research training emphasize an empirical framework in which clinical practice and science mutually inform each other. Within this context, the General Clinical Masters program has two overarching goals. The first is to train students in practicing current, professionally accepted psychological assessment and psychotherapy methods based on various theoretical perspectives of personality and psychopathology. The successful student will be prepared for licensure and clinical practice at the master's level in the state of Michigan. The second goal is to train students in the design and analysis of clinical research.

Admission to the program is based on the following criteria, and priority consideration will be given to those who meet all requirements

In keeping with other programs in the state and with national criteria, admission typically includes a minimum score around the 50th percentile on the Verbal and Quantitative sections and a Writing section minimum score of 4.0. Scores on the GRE Advanced Psychology Test are not required and will not be used in decisions.
