Master of Arts in Community Psychology with Concentration in Community Mental Health

Program Overview

Community psychology focuses on the solutions to human problems in a wide variety of settings, by developing theory, research, and practice to enhance the functioning of individuals, families, groups, institutions, and entire communities. Community Psychology advocates for social justice by empowering marginalized communities and seeks to strengthen health and well-being through community partnership and prevention programs. For 50 years, the University of New Haven's Master's Program in Community Psychology has successfully prepared graduates for professional careers in mental health and related human services.

We provide a distinctive applied psychology education. We offer four program concentrations – community mental health, community research and evaluation, program development, and forensic psychology – that enable our students to tailor the curriculum to meet their individual needs and professional goals.

You’ll learn to apply different psychological and social sciences theories and approaches to understand and impact the complex forces that influence individual and community behavior and well-being.

The program allows students to simultaneously complete their degree, obtain practical experience, work full-time or part-time, and meet financial obligations. Full-time students can complete the program in two years, and classes are offered during evening hours to accommodate working students.
