临床心理学、法医心理学专业硕士 – STEM Designated Degree Program
The Department of Psychology offers a forensic psychology concentration within the MA program in 临床心理学. The Forensic Psychology concentration is designed to prepare students to offer master’s level clinical services to legal system-involved populations in settings that do not require licensure. 这些设置包括, 但不限于, 精神健康和毒品法庭设置, 罪犯改造计划, child and family advocacy settings and bona fide public service agencies exempted by state boards of psychological examiners for non-doctoral providers. Students also receive opportunities for clinical and 研究 experiences to prepare them for doctoral study should they choose that path.
与我们的临床心理学硕士课程的整体儿童/青少年焦点保持一致, 法医的重点是儿童, 青少年和家庭问题，如家庭暴力, 虐待和忽视儿童, 青少年罪犯评估, 治疗和康复.
Courts often rely on psychologists and other mental health practitioners to provide information they need to make legal decisions that impact the safety, 司法系统的安全和福利涉及个人和社会. There are relatively few specialized programs that train students in the ethical practice of forensic psychology, 尤其是那些强调儿童和家庭问题的. The MA program delivers academic and applied experiential learning necessary to succeed in this challenging career through a faculty of experienced forensic psychologists and 研究ers and legal practitioners.
Students in the Forensic Psychology concentration can expect to leave the program with strong clinical skills in assessment and psychotherapeutic interventions, an understanding of professional ethics and a sound theoretical foundation in developmental psychology and psychopathology. Students will learn the unique ethical constraints on the practice of psychology within the legal system; gain practical experience in forensic assessment, report writing and the provision of treatment to offender and victim populations; and be exposed to current theories on family and interpersonal violence.
还有临床心理学, 司法心理学专业, 该系还为研究生学习提供以下选择: 临床心理学，专攻儿童/青少年心理学, a 临床心理学博士，和 学校心理学证书.
