The master's degree in counseling psychology trains students in the scientist-practitioner approach, aligning with doctoral programs like MU's. The curriculum includes foundational counseling psychology courses, hands-on clinical practice through practicums, and research opportunities via faculty labs and team projects. Second-year students must complete an independent research paper.
Unlike typical counseling master's programs, this one emphasizes research. It's not intended for those solely seeking master's-level practice, as graduates won't qualify for Missouri licensure without further coursework. For study plans and course details, consult the course catalog.
