Avila University Graduate School of Psychology

Avila University Graduate School of Psychology Avila University is a private university in Kansas City, Missouri. The MS in Psychology degree program has two tracks: research and general.

From faculty to staff, as well as other students, Avila is a community of learners that values your individuality. The Master of Science in Counseling Psychology is a 60-credit hours degree program designed to provide specialized education in the field of counseling psychology. The program is designed to help graduates meet the educational criteria required for licensed mental health counselors in

Kansas and Missouri. The Avila Psychology department is committed to the scientist-practitioner model to train masters level counseling psychologists for the delivery of mental health services in a variety of settings, such as private practice, mental health clinics, counseling centers, and human service agencies. Students who earn a masters degree in counseling psychology will be able to assist persons experiencing social, behavioral, and personal mental health problems through a variety of approaches and learned techniques. The Master of Science in Psychology is a 36-credit degree program that provides students with a solid foundation in psychology. The degree program offers students an in-depth survey of the diverse research, theory, and practices of psychology’s many sub-disciplines. The program is designed for students preparing to apply for doctoral programs and for students interested in working in non-clinical settings. Both degree programs require a set of core courses that cover foundation components of psychology and statistical research design. The research track utilizes additional coursework with hands-on research to prepare students planning for advanced study in psychology. Both tracks are available to those students who are interested continuing their education in psychology in a non-clinical path.
