Specialization Options
Several courses that are approved for elective credit for the MA in Psychology
may be taken by matriculated graduate students interested in particular
concentration areas, for example:
- Those students seeking Credentialed Alcoholism Counselor (CAC) or
Credentialed Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC) status within New York
state. In this case, any of six courses in the Department of Health
Science (HLS 518, 521-524, and 535) are allowable as a part of a Plan
of Study for the MA in Psychology.
- Those students seeking an emphasis in developmental disorders. In
this case, additional courses in the areas of learning theory, behavior
management, and autism spectrum disorders may allow more
specialized training through the Strong Center for Developmental Disorders at the University of Rochester..
