Overview

The Counseling Psychology program at Northeastern University is unique in that within the general Master of Science program we offer students a choice of specific concentrations, in which students have an opportunity to gain additional depth in selected areas.

Child and Adolescent Counseling
Early Intervention
No Concentration
