पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

This program is designed for individuals currently in the field of law enforcement. It is designed to provide a theoretical background in clinical and social psychology and learn to apply the basic principles of these disciplines to managerial, field, interpersonal and organizational concerns that arise within the police environment. This Master of Arts degree is not designed to teach the student to conduct therapy or engage in psychological testing. There neither are clinical hours required nor a practicum to complete. This degree does not lead to any type of licensure or certification. Rather, this program is designed to teach students how to practically apply psychology to the field of law enforcement. A number of courses are team taught, combining experts from both fields of study. The program acknowledges the challenges law enforcement personnel can face in attending graduate school related to shifting, unpredictable work schedules. As a result, the program offers courses in the evenings and on weekends as well as online. By taking two courses per semester, students can graduate in 18 months. In addition, the program accepts contracts and vouchers for most tuition reimbursement programs, provides the assigned textbooks for each core course, and grants three credit hours (thus waiving the thesis requirement) for individuals who complete staff and command training at Northwestern University.
