The Department of Psychology (College of Arts and Science) and Professional Psychology and Family Therapy (College of Education and Human Services) offer a dual degree program leading to a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (BA) and Master of Arts in Education (MAE). This five-year program permits students to take four required courses from the graduate Psychological Studies program during their senior year. Satisfactory completion of the MAE program would allow students to apply to one of the Professional Psychology and Family Therapy (PPFT) EdS practitioner programs in School Psychology, Mental Health Counseling, or Marriage and Family Therapy. Selection of graduate electives should be done in consultation with the PPFT graduate program adviser.
