A professional psychologist applies psychological principles to help individual, group, or institutional clients with the development of human potential and the prevention and remediation of human problems. A license according to the laws and regulations of the particular state or province is required for independent practice as a psychologist. Typically, an individual will have a doctorate in professional psychology (counseling, clinical, industrial/organizational, or school); and supervised experience to be eligible for licensure as a psychologist. Admission to doctoral programs in professional psychology is extremely competitive. 

The master's program in counseling psychology meets the needs of prospective applicants to doctoral training programs in professional psychology by: 1) providing an opportunity for students from diverse cultural, educational, and personal backgrounds to demonstrate competence in graduate-level courses required by doctoral programs in professional psychology; and 2) encouraging students to explore the professional specialty of counseling psychology.
