The Master of Arts (M.A.) in Clinical Psychology degree program is designed to meet the needs of both those students seeking a terminal degree at the master's level and those who eventually plan to pursue a doctoral degree.
The terminal master's degree is not, however, license-eligible in the state of Florida. The master's degree program is designed provide students a strong clinical orientation with an emphasis in psychological assessment.
National Louis University offers this program in a highly-engaged, face-to-face, intensive, full-time learning environment, with classes during the day. This program is available on both our Chicago and Tampa campuses.
The M.A. in Clinical Psychology degree program is designed to serve as a preliminary step for students who wish to pursue a doctoral degree in clinical psychology.
Depending on state requirements, the M.A. in Clinical Psychology degree program may help prepare students for licensure in psychology or counseling at the master's level.
Additional coursework and supervised post-master's clinical experience may be required to qualify to sit for master's-level licensure exams. Master's-level licensure varies from state to state. It is the student's responsibility to determine the requirements for professional licensure in the state he or she wishes to practice.
