To graduate from the MA program, students must complete a minimum of 17 units. The curriculum includes mandatory Research Core courses: Research Methods/Statistics (3 units), Advanced Research Methodology (1 unit), and Scientific and Professional Ethics in Psychology (1 unit). Beyond these requirements, students choose five to eight elective courses offered during Fall, Winter, Spring, and/or Summer II quarters. Electives may cover Foundational topics, Bases of Behavior, Clinical studies, or focus areas within Major Areas of Study.
Alongside coursework, MA candidates attend the weekly Career Development Proseminar during their first four quarters. This seminar helps students navigate the MA program, connect with Northwestern mentors and research labs, examine career paths in academic clinical psychology, clarify professional interests, and develop skills for future steps—such as PhD program applications and interview preparation.
