MASTER OF ARTS IN PSYCHOLOGY

CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY

The program in clinical psychology is a curriculum empha-
sizing assessment and intervention skills. Competencies in
interviewing techniques, assessment skills, psychotherapy,
and behavioral interventions receive focus through theoreti-
cal and practicum courses and the six-month supervised
clinical internship. The required thesis gives a clinically
related research experience leading to appreciation and
utilization of the literature in later practices as well as
additional research in many cases. Students interested in
teaching can gain experience through teaching assistant-
ships. Graduates of the program are eligible to apply for
licensure as a Psychological Associate in North Carolina.
Once licensed, graduates are employable in a variety of
settings, including mental health centers, hospitals, commu-
nity colleges, and private practice.

GENERAL PSYCHOLOGY

The program in General Psychology has three concentra-
tions: Industrial/Organizational (I/O), Mental Retardation/
Developmental Disabilities (MR/DD), and Academic/Ex-
erimental (A/E). The I/O and MR/DD concentrations
both adopt the scientist/practitioner model, building skill
courses on a solid base of general psychology. Both
concentrations also require an internship. The A/E concen-
tration can be tailored to individual interests, especially in
the areas of physiological, social, or experimental, and is
intended to provide a solid background, emphasizing
research, leading to acceptance into a Ph.D. granting
institution. In all three concentrations, most students also
gain experience as teaching and/or research assistants.
Most courses are offered at night on a three-year, rotated
schedule so that it is possible to earn a degree on a part-
time basis.

SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGY

The program goal is to develop Level II school psychology
ractitioners who apply psychological knowledge and tech-
niques to educational and administrative problems in
schools. The functions include school consultation,
lanning and implementing intervention strategies, and
individual psychological assessment. Research capabilities
are stressed at both the applied and basic level. Internships
and practicums provide students with a wide array of
experiences with children of different ages and in different
settings.

School Psychology training is provided at two levels: the
Master's Program and the Certificate of Advanced Studies
rogram (CAS). The CAS program extends students
beyond the basic core and prepares them for both consulta-
tive and supervisory roles. Both are NCATE approved and
meet the State of North Carolina Certificate requirements.
Upon completion of the program, students receive North
Carolina certification as a Level II School Psychologist and
are eligible to become nationally credentialed as a Nation-
ally Certified School Psychologist and licensed Psychologi-
cal Associate in North Carolina.

FINANCIAL AID

Almost all of the psychology graduate students receive
some form of financial aid. Most teach a section or two of
the introductory course, under the supervision of a senior
faculty member. Others serve as research assistants or as
assistants to program directors. Both teaching and research
are considered important parts of graduate training.
Stipends range from $800 to $1,600 per semester.
