Does VCU offer a terminal master’s degree program in psychology?
No. All of our psychology programs are doctoral programs. In some cases, students who have completed the master’s degree but did not complete the Ph.D. have left with their master’s, but we do not accept students who are seeking a master’s degree. However, VCU does offer master’s degrees in other programs related to the field of psychology: • Social Work (through the School of Social Work) • And in School Counseling (through the School of Education) • Rehabilitation counseling (through the School of Allied Health Professionals) – This program is fully funded, which is rare in a master’s level program. The rehabilitation counselors at University Counseling Services offer the same services that the counseling psychology practicum students do, including individual and group psychotherapy. Individuals with these degrees also can become licensed to become practicing counselors. For more information about the Rehabilitation Counseling Program, see their Web site or contact: Dr. Brian T.
