Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology - Child/Adolescent

The MA in Clinical Psychology offers a foundation in the theory, research and practice of clinical psychology. Grounded in the scientist–practitioner model, our STEM designated degree program emphasizes how evidence-based practice and cutting-edge research come together to make a real-world impact on mental health. Students benefit from small cohorts, close mentorship, opportunities to join active research labs, and hands-on training that bridges theory to practice. Graduates emerge not only with advanced knowledge of clinical psychology but also with practical skills that prepare them to contribute meaningfully in community, clinical and academic settings. While this program does not qualify students for independent licensure, it equips them to thrive in supervised clinical roles and serves as a competitive stepping stone toward doctoral study. The ChildAdolescent Psychology concentration within the MA in Clinical Psychology offers foundational training in clinical psychology with a focus on child and adolescent mental health. Students gain knowledge of developmental considerations in psychopathology, assessment and evidence-based treatment, while also examining the role of families, schools and social contexts. This concentration prepares graduates for supervised, MA-level positions in mental health settings that do not require licensure and serve children and families – such as community agencies or care management organizations. Alumni may pursue roles as clinical research assistants or coordinators, or use this concentration as preparation for doctoral-level training.
