The Department of Psychology at the University of New Orleans (UNO) will offer a new graduate degree option to prepare students to work in a psychology-related, applied field or under the supervision of a licensed psychologist.
“We are admitting students into a 12- month, non-thesis master program,” said UNO Department Chair Dr. Laura Scaramella. “The degree is geared towards students who are interested in pursuing graduate education in psychology but may be undecided in the actual field of study.” Requirements will include graduate level statistics, developmental psychopathology, ethics, electives as well as two assessment and two practicum courses, she said.
“Focused on childhood disorders, assessment courses will provide students with training in assessment of autism and related disorders, intelligence testing, and developmental psychopathology,” explained Dr. Scaramella. She anticipates openings for seven to 10 students, with admissions in both the fall (April 1) and spring (November 1).
