Overview

Dallas Baptist University offers the premier Christ-centered MA in Psychology, a 60-hour program designed to prepare graduates as a Licensed Psychological Associate (LPA). The LPA allows graduates to practice as a mental health practitioner in the state of Texas. For those who desire even more career flexibility, with only two extra courses, students may choose to prepare to become a Licensed Specialist in School Psychology (LSSP). Our small class sizes (13:1 student to faculty ratio) provide an environment where professors invest individually in a mentoring relationship that facilitates learning. Because you are more than just your career, we are committed to excellence in academics and exceptional investment in your personal development.
