Overview

The Applied Psychology programme of Rutgers University embraces the mission of the school by offering instruction that has an emphasis on civic and global citizenship, social justice and cultural diversity. This course of study provides students with knowledge needed to understand individual and collective behaviors; develop quantitative and qualitative statistical analysis and research design needed to analyze the corresponding physical and environmental contributors to human behavior; and a beginning understanding of the analysis and treatment of behavior problems and disorders.

Career

The MAP programme prepares students for two career paths:

Entry into doctoral-level graduate programmes in psychology and related fields

Employment in entry level jobs for addictions, autism, and in multiple market sectors that value competence in psychological knowledge and statistical and analytical skills (marketing, healthcare, human relations, industry and government organizations etc.)

The degree offers students opportunities to complete coursework that may allow them to pursue master’s level state certification (e.g., Behavior Analyst or Addictions Counselor). The MAP programme is not an accredited clinical psychology training programme that leads to state-regulated licensure for psychologists following completion of the MAP degree. Students seeking licensure for clinical practice in psychology must apply to appropriate doctoral programmes.
