Master of Science in Psychology

My time in the MS program at PAU was an experience that allowed me to rediscover my passion for psychology. I entered the program looking to learn more about clinical psychology and connect with neuropsychology labs to help me determine if a PhD or PsyD program was right for my goals. I experienced a tremendous amount of personal growth during the program that allowed me to confidently transition into the PhD program.

"Daily, I find myself drawing on what I had learned in graduate school, including my clinical training and research experiences. These experiences have provided me a robust foundation on which to build additional skills and expertise. In sum, I feel the Consortium prepared me well to become a well-rounded independent practitioner." - Trisha Vinatieri, Ph.D.
