Applied Psychology & Rehabilitation Counseling

Welcome to the Department of Applied Psychology and Rehabilitation Counseling web site.

You should be aware of the fact, that , based upon both internal and external objective consensus, our students are among the best prepared of any undergraduate Psychology majors in the state and in many ways, beyond. As our students perform their crucial Field Placements (internships) in their senior year, site supervisors from our network of agencies and institutions are near unanimous in their praise for our student’s contributions and preparedness to excel in these assignments. Indeed, our student seniors are offered full-time jobs as a result of their Field Placement contributions.

Our undergraduate curriculum, published within this site, is a standard universal undergraduate curriculum, with an afrocentric thread and relevance for our place in the central city of the Baltimore Metropolitan area. Our faculty and staff have a rich tradition of respect and caring for our students. The end result is one of the most popular majors on campus, blessed with motivated and committed students.

The Department has been a significant contributor to the Maxie-Collier Scholars Program, the McNair Program and the University’s Honors Program. Situated on the 6th. Floor, Grace Jacobs Building, the Department provides membership for students and faculty in PSI CHI, the National Honors Society in Psychology as well as the Psychology Club.

In Fall, 2005, the Department will add an Undergraduate Program in Rehabilitation counseling.

The Department provides a fully accredited Master’s Program in Rehabilitation Counseling and a Master’s Degree Program in Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counseling. For more specific information on these programs please follow the links on this page.
