Overview

The Community Psychology master's program from DePaul University focuses on how a community-based social justice perspective recognizes inequalities and promotes access to resources and decision-making that allows marginalized communities to exercise more power.

The program coursework focuses on applied community psychology while also covering the basic areas of cognitive, developmental, and social psychology, and providing an additional background in the theories and methods of scientific psychology.

With a Community Psychology master's degree you'll be ready for work in the community, the government or consulting.
