Course Overview

The primary objectives of the degree are to provide a functional terminal degree for students who wish to prepare for master’s-level forensic jobs (e.g., in juvenile /adult court clinics, penal settings, law enforcement, research departments, or forensic psychiatric settings), and provide a springboard for students interested in pursuing advanced graduate training in forensic psychology. Students complete coursework covering various areas of forensic psychology practice. In addition, students gain invaluable clinical experience through the completion of a 300-hour externship placement and have the option to participate in forensic research and complete a thesis.
