The Master's in psychology, with
a concentration in Clinical Psychology, in the College of Behavioral and Health
Sciences at MTSU, emphasizes a broadly based scientist-practitioner approach,
and the course of study offers preparation to pursue doctoral training or
employment involving clinical interviewing and psychological assessment. The
curriculum and practical aspects of the program meet certification requirements
for the State of Tennessee's Certified Psychological Assistant designation. In
addition to the core requirements, the Master's program in clinical psychology
offers training in two specializations: general clinical and
health/neuropsychology. The skills training does not provide preparation to
practice psychotherapy or professional counseling at the terminal Master's
level.
