The Master of Arts in Forensic Psychology program at Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU) gives students comprehensive training across the diverse field of forensic psychology while maintaining an efficient 1.5-year curriculum. This degree serves two key purposes: preparing graduates for forensic careers at the master's level (such as positions in court systems, correctional facilities, police departments, research institutions, or mental health settings) and laying the foundation for those planning to pursue doctoral studies in forensic psychology. The curriculum includes courses spanning both clinical and forensic psychology disciplines. Students also acquire hands-on clinical training through a mandatory 300-hour externship and can choose to engage in forensic psychology research projects.
