Master en Psychologie Appliquée

The 42-credit Master of Applied Psychology (MAP) offers instruction in foundation knowledge of the scientific basis of psychology and education and training in applied areas of psychology. The program embraces the school's mission by offering instruction that emphasises civic and global citizenship, social justice, and cultural diversity. This course of study provides students with the knowledge needed to understand individual and collective behaviours; develop quantitative and qualitative statistical analysis and research design needed to analyze the corresponding physical and environmental contributors to human behaviour; and a beginning understanding of the analysis and treatment of behaviour problems and disorders.

The mission of GSAPP is threefold: education, research/scholarship, and public service. Its goal is to prepare well-educated, qualified, and competent direct-service psychologists who have a special commitment to direct community involvement and underserved populations--professionals who can integrate scientific knowledge with innovation in delivering psychological services to individuals, families, groups, and organizations. Professionals receiving a doctoral degree in psychology should be capable of extending psychological knowledge and exhibiting the high level of analytic skills and theoretical understanding needed to use existing and emerging psychological knowledge.
