Overview

Key Features

The Applied Psychology (MAP) program at Northeastern University is designed to provide evidence-based knowledge and counseling skills to students who seek entry into doctoral programs in psychology as well as graduates in human services, psychology, and health sciences who want advanced training in applied psychology but do not seek to become licensed mental health counselors.

The MS in Applied Psychology addresses the complex issues of individuals, families, employers, and communities burdened with mental health problems associated with loneliness and depression—including domestic violence, gun violence, sexual assault, discrimination, and poverty.

Career Outlook

Graduates of the Master of Science in Applied Psychology are prepared to work in various for-profit and nonprofit organizations focused on community mental health, higher education, research, healthcare, and more. The need for trained professionals is growing as most people with a diagnosable mental health disorder do not receive treatment from individuals with advanced training in applied psychology.
