The Child/Adolescent Psychology specialization in the Clinical Psychology MA program offers foundational training centered on pediatric clinical psychology. This track educates students about the distinct psychological requirements of youth, along with developmental factors in mental health disorders, evaluation methods, and therapeutic interventions—including family and societal influences. The program equips graduates for master's-level clinical roles in child-focused mental health environments (such as community clinics and care management agencies) where licensure isn't mandatory. Graduates may also pursue careers as research assistants/coordinators or continue toward doctoral studies.
