Psychology Community/Clinical Degree

Facebook Google+ Twitter Linked In Email this page Print this page

The Psychology Community/Clinical field is ideal for students who wish to pursue graduate studies and future licensure as counselors or psychologists. In addition to treating mental and behavioral health issues, licensed counselors and psychologists work on teams to develop or administer prevention or wellness programs. Admission to graduate programs is selective. At Walsh, we take extra steps to prepare students for graduate studies.

Majors: Psychology (Community/Clinical) and Sociology (Applied Family Studies)

Walsh faculty and staff helped me prepare by helping me plan what I need to do in order to get into the graduate school that would fulfill my career goals. I was able to take part in independent studies to build my skills and I was able to take a variety of classes that exposed me to important concepts that are currently being utilized in my current studies at Wright State University's School of Professional Psychology doctoral program.

I have gotten so much out of my time here at Walsh because of the focus the university places on each student’s individual experience. I have felt like an important member of the family here, not just a number. The different experiences I have had here are helping me achieve my goal of becoming a school psychologist.
