All our graduate programs are currently waiving GRE requirements for applications for admissions.
- Psychological Sciences: This degree is research oriented. Graduates will often work in colleges, universities, research centers, government, and private businesses. Many will continue on for doctoral programs.
- School Psychology: This degree leads to state and national certification as a school psychologist in K-12 schools. School psychologists focus on improving academic, developmental, and social/emotional outcomes for students in the school environment. Candidates are trained to provide assessment, intervention, and consultation services while serving students from the preschool through high school level.
- Mental Health Counseling: Our master's degree in counseling is now accepting applications for Fall 2026. See the Mental Health Counseling page for more information.
