The mission of the graduate program in Psychological Science at CSU San Marcos is to provide graduate education of the highest caliber to qualified students from the local community and beyond, leading to the Master of Arts (MA) degree. Our program is designed to accommodate students with a wide range of goals. The active research programs of our faculty, and our recognition of psychology as a scientific enterprise, provide students with the intensive research training and course work in primary content areas that are central to preparation for more advanced graduate work. Likewise, students who have aspirations for careers in community college teaching, community service, or business and industry, benefit from our program's emphasis on critical thinking, research methods, and advanced course work.
Many students undertake graduate work in psychological science in order to pursue careers in clinical psychology or psychological counseling. Training specifically geared to those seeking licensure in Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) or Professional Clinical Counseling (LPCC) is not currently offered at CSU San Marcos. However, the psychological science graduate program will prepare students to better compete for admission to doctoral programs in clinical or counseling psychology. Similarly, we do not offer course work or training that is specifically aimed at preparing students to deliver ABA-based services, nor do we offer the courses that are required for becoming a board certified behavior analyst (BCBA). However, our curriculum and research opportunities may be of interest to students who are interested in a research-based Master’s program as part of their preparation for the BCBA.
