The Department of Psychology offers the Master of Arts in General Psychology with options for a specialization in community psychology. The general emphasis provides enough flexibility to plan a broad based master's degree in the discipline. Community psychology focuses upon primary prevention and prepares students for active practice in the field. Depending on individual specialization, graduates will be prepared for a variety of career possibilities, including those in mental health, corrections and various human service agencies, or for more advanced training at the doctoral level. The ultimate goal of the program is to prepare professionals who are able to conceptualize the processes and apply the skills by which psychological knowledge is transformed into social action in the community.
