纽罕文大学

The University of New Haven offers one of the oldest graduate programs in community psychology in the country. For more than 40 years, we have successfully prepared graduates for professional careers in mental health and related human services fields.

We provide a distinctive applied psychology education. We offer three program concentrations community-clinical services, program development, or forensic psychology that enable our students to tailor the curriculum to meet their individual needs and professional goals.

You’ll learn to apply different psychological and social sciences theories and approaches to understand and impact the complex forces that influence individual and community behavior and well-being.

The program allows students to simultaneously complete their degree, obtain practical experience, work full-time or part-time, and meet financial obligations. Full-time students can complete the program in two years, and classes are offered during evening hours to accommodate working students.

Community-Clinical Services

The community-clinical services concentration prepares students for careers in clinical, mental health, and related human-service settings. Direct work with individuals is stressed, as are consultation, social problem analysis, and prevention techniques and strategies.

Forensic Psychology

The 12-credit forensic psychology concentration, offered jointly by the Psychology and Criminal Justice departments, prepares students for careers in the management and care of offenders in forensic settings. In addition, it is designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of professionals currently working in law enforcement, the courts, and various community-based treatment and prevention programs.

Program Development

The 12-credit program development concentration prepares students for careers that emphasize the administration of both traditional and non-traditional programs and services. The concentration addresses planning, development, and evaluation of innovative approaches to treatment and prevention in the public and private human service sectors as well as in business and industry.
