The division
of psychology at Chapman University offers undergraduate programs
in general psychology or psychobiology and master’s-level
graduate programs with emphases in counseling, marriage and family
therapy, or pre-clinical training. The undergraduate curriculum
emphasizes critical thinking, methods of inquiry, psychology processes,
and the application of psychological principles to diverse areas
of human behavior. Students are encouraged to complete both elective
courses that provide practical fieldwork experience and elective
independent research projects. Overall, the psychology undergraduate
curriculum is designed for students who want to prepare for graduate
study in psychology or related disciplines, for graduate study in
fields where knowledge of human behavior would be beneficial, for
professional careers in psychology or for baccalaureate-level careers
in human services or in psychological support settings.
Occupying Smith Hall, the division of psychology operates its own
statistics and research laboratories and a community clinic. Resources
for the psychobiology major are provided in collaboration with the
department of biological sciences. The division’s chapter
of Psi Chi, the Honors Society in Psychology, is advised by division
faculty and actively supports the development and maintenance of
a curriculum high in quality and educational effectiveness.
Bachelor of Arts in Psychology
The core foundation curriculum in psychology provides the student
with the essentials of psychological science and thought. Culminating
with the senior thesis, the core curriculum produces an integration
of the student’s goals and objectives with psychology’s
present and future. In addition to the core foundation curriculum,
students pursue a curriculum of psychology process and applied psychology
courses chosen in consultation with their psychology academic advisor.

Master
of Arts in Psychology
Chapman’s
psychology division offers a master of arts degree in psychology
with three emphases. The graduate programs in psychology are designed
to provide the student with the academic and professional training
necessary for a career in counseling and the human services and/or
to provide the foundation for further graduate study in psychology
or one of the related disciplines.
Marriage and Family Therapy Emphasis
This emphasis is the primary practice-oriented option within the
master’s programs of the psychology division. It provides
a solid foundation for services as a marriage and family therapist
meeting the education requirements for licensure in California,
certification in other states, and for membership in the American
Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. The program includes
a substantial experiential component in which the student works
under the supervision of division faculty in a counseling setting,
either the community clinic sponsored by the division or in some
other approved site. Students in this emphasis complete a minimum
of 60 semester credits.
Counseling
Emphasis (Offered only at Academic Centers outside of California)
The courses in the counseling emphasis provide a solid foundation
for the student wishing to pursue a career in psychologically oriented
counseling at the pre-doctoral level. The counseling emphasis may
be tailored to meet certification or other requirements at Academic
Center locations outside California. The counseling emphasis requires
a minimum of 48 semester credits.
Pre-Clinical Emphasis
The pre-clinical emphasis is designed for those students planning
to continue directly into a doctoral program in clinical or counseling
psychology or a closely related discipline. Substantial attention
is devoted to the development of assessment and research skills
needed in doctoral programs. This emphasis, which requires a thesis,
is currently available only at the Orange campus. Students applying
for this emphasis must submit GRE scores as part of the application
process. A combined score of 1050 in the Verbal and Quantitative
portions of the GRE General Examination is required with a minimum
of 500 on the Quantitative portion. Students whose undergraduate
major was not psychology or whose bachelor’s degree was obtained
more than seven years prior to admission to Chapman University will
be required to obtain a minimum score of 500 on the GRE Psychology
Subject Test. The pre-clinical emphasis requires completion of 36-39
credits.
