MS in Psychology

I entered the MS program to pursue a fulfilling second career in Behavioral Health. Coming to PAU was the best choice as it built upon my previous BA Psychology degree from UCSB, and the courses were online so I could continue with my business during the day.

The curriculum provided a strong foundation to become a psychometrist, an alternative career for those that like performing assessments and are not fully interested in practicing as clinicians.

I chose Palo Alto University (PAU) because PAU was convenient for my situation- I could stay at home and continue my education. I transferred from De Anza Community College, so I was pretty familiar with the campus. Some of the faculty at De Anza taught some PAU courses, so I had a network established already.
