MA/MS in Clinical, Counseling and Applied Psychology

The master's program in counseling psychology at TWU approaches the field through a feminist lens and prepares students mainly for careers in psychological counseling. Graduates are trained to counsel individuals, couples, families and groups, supporting mental, emotional and relational health. Training emphasizes multicultural and social context, ethical practice and self-reflection, and it rests on the science of psychology. The MA also serves as solid preparation for those who later want doctoral training in counseling psychology. Applicants need a bachelor's degree with a minimum of 18 semester hours of psychology coursework, including courses in general, developmental and abnormal psychology, statistics and research methods. A psychology GPA of 3.5 and an overall average of 3.0 over the last 60 undergraduate hours are expected. Students enter in the fall only.
