Psychology Clinical Psychology - Towson University

Psychology Clinical Psychology from Towson University is a Campus Master Clinical Psychology degree that prepares you for a Psychology career. Clinical psychology is a diverse field. Some clinical psychologists provide psychological services, including assessment, testing, diagnosis, and treatment, to adults and children in hospital and private practice settings. Others conduct research on causes, consequences, and treatment of psychological disorders. Still others work in academic settings combining teaching, research, and clinical work. In order to be licensed as a clinical psychologist or to teach at a college or university, one must earn a doctoral degree from an APA-accredited graduate program. Students who earn a terminal masters in clinical psychology may become licensed clinical professional counselors following completion of additional coursework and field placement hours. The Towson University clinical psychology MA program adopts an evidence-based practices model. Students receive training in diagnostic, personality, and intellectual assessment, evidence-based case conceptualization and interviewing, empirically supported treatments, ethics, and research methods. The program consists of a minimum of 46 credit hours including a 500 hour clinical or research internship in the community. The purpose of this internship is to permit students to further develop their clinical and research skills.
