The Master of Science in Psychology offers a wide range of academic and professionally oriented psychology courses. This degree is offered in response to a strong demand from students and industry leaders for a degree that is designed for those interested in pursuing a strong theoretical foundation in psychology that can be applied to related fields such as sports psychology, pastoral counseling, life coaching, and trainers in business and industry.
