Clinical Psychology Program

The Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology is designed for full-time students to graduate in two calendar years. Part-time students are not admitted to the program.  This program is designed to prepare students for doctoral level training in clinical psychology or other applied disciplines within psychology by earning a Master of Arts in Psychology. Students who do not wish to pursue further studies may be eligible for licensure in North Carolina as a psychological associate

Admission
Applicants who have prior research and/or clinical experience are given preference in the admissions selection process. All applications and supporting materials are submitted online. When the Graduate School has received the completed online file, the Department of Psychology is notified for action.

Financial Aid
Most entering graduate students are awarded an assistantship, either within the psychology department or in another department at the university. Assistantship stipends and duties differ depending on the student’s placement. Out-of-state students may apply for a waiver of the out-of-state portion of their tuition. We try to obtain some funds for partial or full waivers of out-of-state tuition for all out-of-state tuition; however this is not always possible. Most out-of-state students are able to pay in-state tuition for the second year of the program.
