Psychology Master of Arts
The M.A. program is designed trains students to deliver clinical services through community agencies. After completing the program and a two-year postgraduate internship, graduates are eligible to become Licensed Mental Health Counselors and practice independently. The M.A. degree program is offered at the Daytona Beach area campus and is concerned with the application of psychological principles to individuals. The two primary areas of emphasis include assessment or evaluation skills and intervention or psychotherapy skills. Master’s program graduates have been involved in mental health service delivery through individual, marital, family, and group psychotherapy, as well as crisis intervention and other specialized therapeutic procedures. The program curriculum is consistent with the educational criteria for licensure as a mental health counselor in the state of Florida.
Degree Requirements
The M.A. Degree program in Clinical Psychology is a two-year,
six-semester program for full-time students, with summer course
work between the first and second year and at the end of the
second year. Part-time students should plan their curriculum
carefully in consultation with their advisor. The program consists
of a minimum of 60 hours of work, including a 12-credit internship.
