For what sorts of career opportunities will my M.A. in General Psychology from SFASU prepare me?
With the solid grounding in research methodology, students are well prepared to enter the workforce (or return to it) to apply those research skills in any agency. They could conduct market research or design studies to answer a wide variety of questions related to agency practices. In addition to competence in research, graduates of the program are prepared to teach at the community college level. Some graduates, should they so choose, will have been given full responsibility for a freshman-level course, receiving supervision for that work. Will I be eligible to apply for licensure as a master’s-level clinical practitioner (i.e., as a Licensed Psychological Associate [LPA] or Licensed Professional Counselor [LPC]) when I complete my M.A. at SFASU? No. The M.A. program at SFASU is in General Psychology. The program does not provide the clinical coursework and practicum experience necessary to be eligible for licensure.
