The UI/UX Research certificate emphasizes quantitative and qualitative research methods with an introduction to design. This certificate prepares students for User Interface and User Experience (UI/UX) careers. The UI/UX approach has become the standard for developing apps and is commonly employed as a part of the process to implement and update product experiences, ranging from online dating apps to television/media apps, to navigating driving directions with maps. This is a rapidly growing area of employment that combines social science research skills with aesthetic design. Students develop a skillset in analysis, evaluation, and the implementation of designs that enable product users to have fulfilling interactions with software and virtual environments. Learn more »

The master's program in clinical and counseling psychology prepares students for the professional practice of counseling, assessment, and/or mental health research. The curriculum provides a solid grounding in both theories and interventions that can be applied to a wide variety of mental health, academic, and research settings. We emphasize professional competency, ethical responsibility, cultural competency, self-awareness, and current body of knowledge in the scientific, methodological and theoretical foundations of practice. Our program expects students to become compassionate and caring scientist-practitioners with motivation to continue learning and furthering their development throughout their professional careers. The program requires the student to submit either a comprehensive master's project (in which he or she presents a clinical project in writing and integrates relevant empirical, theoretical, social, ethical, cultural, diagnostic, and therapeutic issues in the discussion) or a research project that makes an original contribution to the literature.

The doctoral program (PsyD) in clinical psychology is a practitioner-scholar oriented program that provides a direct route for students who hold a bachelor's degree in psychology to pursue advanced studies and obtain a master's in clinical and counseling psychology and a doctorate in clinical psychology. When a student enrolls in the PsyD program, he or she will study in a small community of peers and mentors, and will have the opportunity to get training in empirically based treatments and interventions taught by outstanding faculty with diverse interests in both clinical practice and research. The program offers individualized attention and state-of-the-art facilities in our Science Complex, which has clinical, teaching, and research facilities, in addition to a psychology clinical training suite that features recording and monitoring capabilities. A dedicated graduate student study suite is available for work and study and for developing a sense of community. Learn more »
