Preparing students for diverse careers in psychology…
As a graduate student, you will benefit from individualized attention and experiential learning afforded by the MSP educational environment. Faculty support academic freedom of inquiry and freedom in research, principles that are essential to the purpose of higher education and fundamental to the advancement of knowledge and truth. The responsibility for the integrity of the academic programs lies with the faculty who continually assess and enhance content and requirements to meet the needs of today’s clinicians.
MSP employs the practitioner-scholar training model which generates an exchange between the clinical work and scholarship, with each perspective informing and balancing the other. This model incorporates the development of reflective skills, critical thinking, disciplined inquiry and multiple ways of knowing in practice, while stressing the important role of theory and research in informing practice.
