MA/MS in Community Organization and Advocacy

The Community Psychology program was created because community groups and agencies asked for help serving residents with the greatest needs. It trains students for master's-level roles in community organizations, government offices and consulting. Coursework teaches a social justice approach grounded in the community, which spots inequity, supports sharing power and resources with marginalized groups and connects to advocacy for people facing oppression. The Master of Science is a practice-oriented final degree, not a pathway to a doctorate, so students planning a PhD should talk to an advisor. Applicants must send general GRE results. Applications are due at the start of May, and the review process starts in early April, with early submissions encouraged. Prospective students can review the full requirements and course lists on the program's catalog page at DePaul University.
