WEBVTT 00:00:03.440 --> 00:00:04.660 Let's get started. 00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:13.380 We're gonna go over who we are as a university, but also the program details, so what to expect as a student. 00:00:14.205 --> 00:00:18.865 And then next, we're gonna go over the new concentrations and career opportunities. 00:00:19.485 --> 00:00:24.205 So in this program, there are different concentrations that you can choose from. 00:00:24.205 --> 00:00:37.180 So this is a good way for you to tailor the program to your interest and to their goals, and and we're gonna go over how this is relevant to your overall career goals or your, how you see yourself using this degree to add to your credentials. 00:00:38.440 --> 00:00:44.805 And then lastly, we're gonna talk about funding, scholarships, different ways of funding your education. 00:00:45.745 --> 00:00:47.025 We have partnerships as well. 00:00:47.025 --> 00:00:49.445 So there are different ways of reducing your tuition. 00:00:49.905 --> 00:00:54.805 Now I wanna go over first the mission of the university, and this is really our identity. 00:00:55.460 --> 00:01:07.960 So our whole mission here as a school is to integrate the social sciences with two thousand years of church teaching on the Catholic Christian understanding of human dignity. 00:01:08.100 --> 00:01:09.400 That's why we exist. 00:01:10.185 --> 00:01:14.585 And in fact, our curriculum was formed by members of the Dominican order. 00:01:14.585 --> 00:01:18.205 So there's even a sort of Aquinas lens on how we look at psychology. 00:01:19.145 --> 00:01:26.220 I had a great conversation with our program director a while back, and I've shared this with I I I share this with so many of our students. 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:37.020 But I I asked her a while back, is it a liability for students to get a psychology degree from a faith based institution? 00:01:38.095 --> 00:01:39.375 And she's well credentialed. 00:01:39.375 --> 00:01:42.195 She knows the industry very well as a clinical psychologist. 00:01:42.815 --> 00:01:43.455 She said, no. 00:01:43.455 --> 00:01:44.675 This is not a liability. 00:01:44.815 --> 00:01:46.195 It's actually the opposite. 00:01:46.415 --> 00:01:48.995 The industry views this as a strength. 00:01:49.535 --> 00:02:13.935 And the reason why is because within the industry, while there are a lot of professionals that are very well equipped to talk about trauma and crisis and addiction and mental health, many times when the subject of faith and spirituality come up by the, by the clients, they usually have to dodge that because they're not trained in addressing these things. 00:02:14.715 --> 00:02:27.640 So the industry has been looking for more professionals to be able to touch on all those things that I mentioned, but also when the client brings up that faith or spiritual component, they're able to fill in that gap as well. 00:02:27.640 --> 00:02:31.660 So a lot of our graduates have been thriving in their field among their peers. 00:02:33.320 --> 00:02:35.660 So that's the mission of the university. 00:02:36.185 --> 00:02:38.905 Now as a university, we do have three different programs. 00:02:38.905 --> 00:02:47.785 We began under the name of the Institute for the Psychological Sciences back in 1999 where we were offering the doctoral program. 00:02:47.785 --> 00:02:49.645 This is the PsyD in Clinical Psychology. 00:02:50.590 --> 00:02:53.250 And this program is fully on campus. 00:02:54.190 --> 00:03:02.830 And then in 2016, we added this program that we're gonna be talking about, the master's in psychology, which is offered 100% online. 00:03:02.830 --> 00:03:04.930 We'll talk about the online format as well. 00:03:05.615 --> 00:03:07.215 And then in actually, excuse me. 00:03:07.215 --> 00:03:08.435 That was in 2014. 00:03:08.655 --> 00:03:13.855 But in 2016, we added the master's in counseling program, and that one is hybrid. 00:03:13.855 --> 00:03:22.130 It's primarily online, but there are residencies which you do on campus, and then there are your practicum and internship hours. 00:03:22.830 --> 00:03:30.610 So again, we're going to be addressing the master's in psychology program and what to expect and the online formatting. 00:03:33.545 --> 00:03:37.165 Now the next thing with the university is our accreditation. 00:03:37.385 --> 00:03:41.065 We're regionally accredited through SACS. 00:03:41.065 --> 00:03:48.180 That's the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, And we're approved to operate through SHEV. 00:03:48.180 --> 00:03:50.920 That's the State Council for Higher Education in Virginia. 00:03:51.380 --> 00:03:56.600 And we also have, if you see in the bottom right corner, NC SARA. 00:03:57.300 --> 00:04:02.895 Now that stands for the National Council for for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement. 00:04:03.035 --> 00:04:13.775 What this means is that while this is a degree that you're earning online, your degree is going to be recognized as coming from a regionally accredited institution regardless of where you're located. 00:04:15.300 --> 00:04:21.800 Now, also, we have, as you see in the bottom left side, American Psychological Association. 00:04:21.940 --> 00:04:26.120 This is a national accreditation found within doctoral programs. 00:04:27.220 --> 00:04:34.605 Our PsyD program is APA accredited, but we do use that same APA writing style in this program. 00:04:34.605 --> 00:04:36.865 Some of you are probably familiar with this. 00:04:37.565 --> 00:04:41.105 This writing style is also used within undergrad psychology courses. 00:04:45.740 --> 00:04:50.480 So just to reiterate, this program is 100% online. 00:04:51.340 --> 00:04:52.720 We're regionally accredited. 00:04:53.740 --> 00:04:56.320 And to apply, you don't have to take the GRE. 00:04:57.075 --> 00:05:01.495 So this is a step you won't have to worry about as we continue on. 00:05:06.115 --> 00:05:09.415 Now I'd love to hear from all of you in the chat section. 00:05:09.900 --> 00:05:16.400 Many of you are might be coming here because you you're interested in gaining your credentials. 00:05:16.700 --> 00:05:27.975 Maybe this is a way for you to, to climb the ladder in your current position, or maybe you're looking for a career change, or or to break into the into the job market. 00:05:27.975 --> 00:05:33.355 And having a master's in psychology will be beneficial for you and you have specific career goals in mind. 00:05:33.575 --> 00:05:42.530 So in the chat section, feel free to mention what interests you in getting a master's in psychology and how you would use this degree. 00:05:42.830 --> 00:05:44.690 So I'll give you a moment for that. 00:05:45.230 --> 00:05:53.925 And as you're putting that information in, I'll highlight that this program tends to bring in a litany of different types of folks. 00:05:53.925 --> 00:05:58.345 Many of them might be working in industry in, excuse me, in ministry. 00:05:59.125 --> 00:06:01.525 Many of them are consecrated, folks. 00:06:01.525 --> 00:06:13.100 Some of them are laypeople and, still working in ministry, but many people also use their degree within social and mental health services or within HR or within law enforcement. 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.780 Self development, that's a that's a great reason for this degree. 00:06:20.775 --> 00:06:21.995 Community organization. 00:06:22.375 --> 00:06:22.875 Wonderful. 00:06:27.575 --> 00:06:29.675 And one day pursuing a PhD. 00:06:29.735 --> 00:06:30.855 That's that's great. 00:06:31.255 --> 00:06:36.270 This is also a very good way to establish some foundation before pursuing a doctorate. 00:06:37.610 --> 00:06:42.510 And also looking to, potentially using this degree after retirement. 00:06:42.650 --> 00:06:43.390 Very good. 00:06:43.930 --> 00:06:44.410 Yeah. 00:06:44.410 --> 00:06:46.270 This works in so many different directions. 00:06:46.330 --> 00:06:48.510 It's it's a very versatile degree to have. 00:06:50.245 --> 00:06:50.565 Yeah. 00:06:50.565 --> 00:06:50.965 Wonderful. 00:06:50.965 --> 00:06:59.225 And just just being being able to communicate with people and and counseling those that have been dealing with infertility or or post trauma. 00:07:00.405 --> 00:07:00.905 Yeah. 00:07:01.180 --> 00:07:07.180 Post abortion or miscarriage, those that have been, that have been struggling and need that healing. 00:07:07.180 --> 00:07:07.920 That's wonderful. 00:07:09.820 --> 00:07:10.300 Good. 00:07:10.300 --> 00:07:10.800 Alright. 00:07:11.260 --> 00:07:12.960 So I'm gonna continue on. 00:07:13.435 --> 00:07:20.975 I really appreciate you all all you just sharing your, your interest in this degree, but let's go right into the different concentrations. 00:07:22.235 --> 00:07:37.470 So we actually have five concentrations available, and these are leadership psychology, pre PhD, marriage and family studies, and then we have two others, which we'll go over. 00:07:38.010 --> 00:07:44.055 One is in human services counseling, and then the last one is, self design. 00:07:44.595 --> 00:07:47.895 But let's just start with leadership psychology for now. 00:07:48.195 --> 00:08:08.720 This is a concentration or rather, this concentration is especially valuable for those who are interested in in in a career in industrial and organizational positions, whether that's HR, so human resources, or organizational consulting, or public relations, or human resources. 00:08:09.795 --> 00:08:17.235 So that's very common for these folks, but, you you're not stuck in using this concentration in these fields. 00:08:17.235 --> 00:08:36.280 A lot of a lot of folks use this degree within, education as well, and we even have people in ministry because maybe they're in a leadership position, and having this sort of background will allow them to lead a little bit better with their, whether it's with their parish or with the diocese or whatever it may be. 00:08:37.545 --> 00:08:40.825 So the next one is the pre PhD. 00:08:40.825 --> 00:08:42.265 Let's dive into that one. 00:08:42.265 --> 00:08:51.430 The pre PhD concentration, is wonderful for students that are looking to one day pursue their their doctorate. 00:08:52.130 --> 00:09:05.625 One of you mentioned that you're looking to eventually go further in getting your your PhD, and the pre PhD concentration will give you an edge in better preparing you for that. 00:09:05.625 --> 00:09:19.210 So whether you're looking to go into a career that's related to research or applied psychology or clinical psychology or, going into academia, this is a great option for that. 00:09:20.150 --> 00:09:28.890 And then marriage and family studies dives deeper into understanding these dynamics for those that are looking to work with this population. 00:09:29.555 --> 00:09:43.575 So whether it's within social or mental health services or ministry or education or government positions, just having this background as you can communicate with these populations and better working with them is very useful. 00:09:47.910 --> 00:09:51.530 Now next, as I mentioned, we have Human Services Counseling. 00:09:52.470 --> 00:09:59.955 Now in the program, as a student, regardless of which concentration you choose, you're still going to learn counseling techniques. 00:10:00.095 --> 00:10:06.915 But the human services counseling concentration does hone into those those, techniques a little bit further. 00:10:07.295 --> 00:10:31.415 This is a very popular one for those that are looking to go into whether it's addiction counseling or parish counseling or working in human services, some capacity, albeit nonlicensure, but still being able to counsel individuals better recognizing mental health difficulties so you can refer them to, the next phase in their healing. 00:10:32.995 --> 00:10:36.035 And then lastly is self designed. 00:10:36.035 --> 00:10:37.655 This is sort of a bonus concentration. 00:10:38.810 --> 00:10:44.510 And the self design concentration allows you to pick different electives from different concentrations. 00:10:45.690 --> 00:10:49.150 So as a student, you'll be taking a total of 11 courses. 00:10:49.930 --> 00:10:54.355 Eight of them are core courses, but then you'll have your three electives for each one. 00:10:54.815 --> 00:10:58.195 So if you did the self design concentration, this is a hypothetical. 00:10:58.415 --> 00:11:08.160 But let's say that you were interested in the pre PhD focus as well as marriage and family studies, and you weren't sure which one would be more relevant to your goals. 00:11:08.540 --> 00:11:12.080 You could always take, for instance, two from pre PhD. 00:11:12.460 --> 00:11:18.495 So two courses, two electives from that one, and then one elective from marriage and family studies. 00:11:18.495 --> 00:11:20.015 Or maybe it's the other way around. 00:11:20.015 --> 00:11:24.815 Or maybe you wanna take one from each of those plus one from human services counseling. 00:11:24.815 --> 00:11:31.715 So this is just a great way for you to further customize the program to your interest and to your goals. 00:11:37.030 --> 00:11:46.570 And I mentioned before that, you'll be taking eight core courses, and this is just an example of these core courses that you'll be taking. 00:11:47.155 --> 00:11:56.215 The electives, again, that's gonna be based on which ones you choose, but we do have those on our website so you can look at the course descriptions and what those courses will all entail. 00:11:58.115 --> 00:12:02.055 Oh, and by the way, I didn't mention this at the beginning, and and I should have. 00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:08.340 If any questions arise as we're going through this, feel free to drop them in the chat or in the q and a section. 00:12:08.400 --> 00:12:12.260 We're still gonna go through a question and answer session at the end of this. 00:12:12.560 --> 00:12:19.225 But, I know that sometimes if you're like me, a question will pop up, and then you're gonna forget it one minute later. 00:12:19.605 --> 00:12:22.745 So, if any questions come up, you're welcome to drop them in now. 00:12:27.605 --> 00:12:36.940 So here, this is just a a layout of different purposes for why individuals will pursue their masters in psychology. 00:12:38.040 --> 00:12:49.035 As I mentioned before, a lot of you might be looking to this degree to break into a field, But many of you also might be using this as a means to advance in your career. 00:12:50.935 --> 00:12:59.640 For for others, they I speak with students so regularly, and and this is a means for them to also go into to a, earning a promotion. 00:13:00.820 --> 00:13:04.760 Many of them also wanna use this degree so that they can go into executive positions. 00:13:05.620 --> 00:13:09.160 So, again, this is a very personal degree to have. 00:13:09.305 --> 00:13:11.065 It can go into many different directions. 00:13:11.065 --> 00:13:18.925 We're gonna talk about those career opportunities, but there's also a list of many different reasons why this degree would be beneficial. 00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:25.100 So the career opportunities. 00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:29.820 We're gonna go into all the different options for this. 00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:40.685 And as you're seeing the different career positions, we also collected median salaries based on different locations in The US. 00:13:41.705 --> 00:13:53.500 It's always I I always encourage students, if that's something that you're curious about, to do your own research, as far as what the median salary would be locally to you. 00:13:53.880 --> 00:13:59.080 You know, for instance, in this first one, at the top, it has human resources management. 00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:04.405 And this is median salary is over 100,000, and that's in Alabama. 00:14:04.465 --> 00:14:09.205 But maybe you live in Los Angeles, or maybe you live in Delaware, or wherever. 00:14:10.145 --> 00:14:15.605 And so it'd be a good idea for you to do that research and see what that's gonna look like in your local area. 00:14:16.280 --> 00:14:19.980 And if you're an international student, I I do apologize. 00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:25.240 We couldn't gather that information, but we do work with international students. 00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:27.260 We have students all over the world. 00:14:28.695 --> 00:14:33.035 But within industrial and organizational positions, these are some examples. 00:14:33.575 --> 00:14:56.355 So this would be working in more of a business environment, whether it's within HR or organizational consulting or market research analytics or anything related to this, a lot of these positions value those with a master's in psychology because that degree, shows your writing skills and your communication skills. 00:14:56.435 --> 00:15:05.815 And even understanding the human mind is beneficial for working with an organization, with your colleagues, but maybe even understanding clientele. 00:15:07.875 --> 00:15:09.655 So I'm gonna continue on. 00:15:11.040 --> 00:15:15.460 And this is a I I like to use this, testimonial. 00:15:15.760 --> 00:15:25.835 This is someone who graduated from Divine Mercy, Emily Leiden, and she's now an executive director with Catholic Family Services. 00:15:26.375 --> 00:15:30.635 She graduated a few years ago, and she's been able to climb the ladder with this degree. 00:15:31.175 --> 00:15:38.315 I like to use this slide here just because it is pertaining closer to that sort of leadership psychology position. 00:15:42.750 --> 00:15:45.730 Now next is social and mental health services. 00:15:45.790 --> 00:15:50.430 This is probably most especially common for our students. 00:15:50.430 --> 00:15:54.850 Those that are going into this program, they usually wanna work within this type of field. 00:15:55.345 --> 00:15:56.545 Not every student, of course. 00:15:56.545 --> 00:16:01.125 We have a a number of different types of students, but this is the most common, I would say. 00:16:02.065 --> 00:16:24.620 And as you see, going into this field could mean working in behavioral analytics, being an executive coach, working as a rehabilitation adviser, going into case management, serving as a psychiatric technician, going into grief and loss counseling or addiction counseling. 00:16:25.865 --> 00:16:29.645 Besides those, you'll see that they are as non licensed professionals. 00:16:30.425 --> 00:16:36.045 This this program is not designed for licensure, so you wouldn't have to go through the state board. 00:16:36.345 --> 00:16:46.300 But a misconception when it comes to licensure is that I think a lot of folks think that if you're not licensed, that means that you're not marketable or there are no positions to take. 00:16:46.300 --> 00:16:48.320 But that's that's not true at all. 00:16:48.780 --> 00:16:52.480 Most careers, as you think about it, they don't require that you go through the state board. 00:16:52.995 --> 00:16:54.935 Many of them just don't require licensure. 00:16:55.075 --> 00:17:12.270 And these are examples of of careers where after earning your degree or even before earning your degree, just showing your capability and showing that you've actually been learning the content, you could easily go into these positions either right after earning the degree or while earning it. 00:17:16.170 --> 00:17:18.510 And then next, we have education. 00:17:18.570 --> 00:17:27.445 And we have a lot of educators that go into this program or those that are planning to go into education, but specifically because they wanna teach psychology. 00:17:27.985 --> 00:17:32.165 Or maybe they work within a higher education or k through 12. 00:17:32.465 --> 00:17:42.190 And having a better sense of, these younger populations and how the human how how the mind works, is very beneficial for them. 00:17:42.190 --> 00:17:53.475 So you can serve as a psychology instructor at a community college setting or teaching psychology at a high school level or working in different capacities in higher education. 00:17:54.655 --> 00:18:01.955 And then we have government and law enforcement, and, this is also very useful in these positions. 00:18:02.095 --> 00:18:22.835 Just having an understanding, again, of of how the mind works, serves well for working with law enforcement, making sure that that they are if they've experienced some sort of trauma, being able to recognize that so that they can be worked with properly. 00:18:23.135 --> 00:18:30.995 Or even better working with criminals or or victims with this degree is very common as well. 00:18:33.810 --> 00:18:35.010 So I'll continue on. 00:18:35.010 --> 00:18:36.710 And then lastly is ministry. 00:18:37.650 --> 00:18:57.765 And we have a lot of folks that do work in ministry that go into this position into this career excuse me, this degree because, again, just having that background serves well when they're working with different, parishes or if they're working with the diocese or different apostolates. 00:18:58.710 --> 00:19:06.730 For some people, they are working in seminaries, and, having a master's in psychology works well with faith formation. 00:19:07.590 --> 00:19:10.250 It also works well with pre k or a marriage preparation. 00:19:11.325 --> 00:19:13.965 And then, of course, serving as a parish counselor. 00:19:13.965 --> 00:19:17.825 So working with the parishioners and helping them with their healing. 00:19:22.525 --> 00:19:28.420 Now next, we're gonna talk about the time commitment of the program, and we're gonna talk about the cost. 00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:32.080 Now I just wanna say very quickly because you're seeing two different costs here. 00:19:32.080 --> 00:19:33.620 I'll explain why they're different. 00:19:33.760 --> 00:19:42.295 And I also wanna reiterate right now as a spoiler that we do have different, scholarships available, and we have partnerships. 00:19:42.435 --> 00:19:48.135 So there is a way to get the cost reduced, but this is just a baseline of what you're seeing. 00:19:49.075 --> 00:19:54.150 But going back to the two tracks, there are two different ways on how you can pursue your degree. 00:19:54.610 --> 00:19:59.990 One is completing it in sixteen months, which is considered an accelerated track. 00:20:00.530 --> 00:20:05.190 The other is completing it in twenty six months, and this is still considered full time. 00:20:05.475 --> 00:20:07.415 There are part time options as well. 00:20:07.875 --> 00:20:13.015 If you're doing the twenty six month track, that means that you're taking one course every term. 00:20:13.235 --> 00:20:14.535 Each term is eight weeks. 00:20:14.835 --> 00:20:20.615 On average, we've seen students commit about fifteen to eighteen hours per week when they approach it this way. 00:20:21.600 --> 00:20:26.500 And then you have, as I mentioned before, the sixteen month track, which is more of an accelerated option. 00:20:27.040 --> 00:20:35.300 On average, students are taking two courses per term, and they're usually committing between twenty five to thirty hours per week. 00:20:35.625 --> 00:20:42.925 So if you have a little bit more time in your schedule, then this could be a good option for you if you wanted to complete your degree a little bit sooner. 00:20:43.465 --> 00:20:47.085 For those that work full time, usually, they select the twenty six month track. 00:20:47.465 --> 00:20:54.080 But you know you better than anyone else, and you know how, how you do with your time management. 00:20:54.140 --> 00:20:57.920 So, so we trust that you'll be able to choose the right one. 00:20:58.700 --> 00:21:09.415 Now going to the cost, as we're looking at the twenty six month track, you'll see that it's a total of 26,818. 00:21:09.795 --> 00:21:11.235 That includes books, by the way. 00:21:11.235 --> 00:21:13.815 Books are actually not an additional expense. 00:21:14.995 --> 00:21:21.400 But the this is for thirty three credit hours, and it's $796 per credit. 00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:23.180 And there's a $50 tech fee. 00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:27.980 So, again, it's 26,818 before scholarships. 00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:41.065 Now for the sixteen month track, it's actually a little bit less because for every term that you're taking two courses, that second course is gonna be 25% less automatically. 00:21:41.845 --> 00:21:46.825 So that one comes out to 24,430, again, before scholarships. 00:21:49.530 --> 00:21:51.630 Now is grad school affordable? 00:21:52.890 --> 00:21:53.290 Yes. 00:21:53.290 --> 00:21:55.530 There there are ways of reducing your tuition. 00:21:55.530 --> 00:22:04.375 We for this program, we do actually keep our, our our tuition competitive among other schools as well. 00:22:04.595 --> 00:22:10.135 But there are ways of of, funding your education, different different means of doing this. 00:22:10.275 --> 00:22:13.815 So one common one is utilizing federal aid. 00:22:14.070 --> 00:22:17.050 So applying through FAFSA, using student loans. 00:22:17.270 --> 00:22:18.150 This is an option. 00:22:18.150 --> 00:22:20.490 This is probably the most common option for students. 00:22:21.270 --> 00:22:26.490 But then, for many other students, they might not want to use student loans, and that's fine too. 00:22:26.950 --> 00:22:30.555 And so instead, many of them will use a payment plan. 00:22:30.615 --> 00:22:34.475 So what they're doing is paying installments every term. 00:22:34.775 --> 00:22:38.875 So they're paying as they go rather than having to pay one lump sum. 00:22:41.095 --> 00:22:45.010 And then, of course, there are internal scholarships that we offer. 00:22:45.010 --> 00:22:46.710 We're gonna talk about that too. 00:22:47.170 --> 00:22:55.570 And then, if there's any sort of alternative funding, so this might be external scholarships or external loans, that's always an option. 00:22:55.570 --> 00:22:57.910 We're happy to work with those options as well. 00:23:01.735 --> 00:23:06.535 Now going into the scholarships, this is probably what a lot of you were looking forward to. 00:23:06.535 --> 00:23:09.515 We do offer 13 different scholarships. 00:23:09.655 --> 00:23:11.915 This is just an example of six of them. 00:23:12.500 --> 00:23:17.560 But as a student, you can apply up to four of them and receive up to two. 00:23:18.020 --> 00:23:21.080 And I I always tell students there's a scholarship for everyone. 00:23:21.140 --> 00:23:31.135 So if you're inclined to reduce your tuition, then by all means, apply for whatever you qualify for, and I'm sure we can find a way to reduce the tuition. 00:23:31.915 --> 00:23:34.475 And it ranges between the dollar amounts, the percentage. 00:23:34.475 --> 00:23:43.430 So it could be 2,000 to 5,000 to 10% to 25 to 35%, all the way up to 50% at the max. 00:23:43.490 --> 00:23:51.110 So, again, if this is something that you're interested in doing, I'd be happy to assist you in getting that cost reduced. 00:23:54.315 --> 00:23:58.895 And then another way of reducing tuition is through our partnerships. 00:24:00.395 --> 00:24:04.815 This is just a short list of the current partnerships that we have. 00:24:05.080 --> 00:24:18.220 And so if any of these are related to you, if you've been part of, if you're within any of these diocese or you're an alumni for some of these universities, then let me know. 00:24:18.315 --> 00:24:22.175 We can talk about how to reduce how we can get this cost reduced automatically. 00:24:23.355 --> 00:24:29.135 If these are not pertaining to you, there's always a way to to establish partnerships. 00:24:29.995 --> 00:24:43.440 So if you belong to a parish, for instance, or maybe you work with a Catholic school or you work with the diocese, we can always establish a partnership and then automatically get that cost reduced. 00:24:43.660 --> 00:24:46.460 And you can also apply I'll say this once more. 00:24:46.460 --> 00:24:52.355 You can apply for scholarships on top of any, partnerships that we have with you. 00:24:52.355 --> 00:24:55.815 So we call these MOUs, memorandum of understanding. 00:24:59.155 --> 00:25:01.255 And that brings us to the end. 00:25:01.475 --> 00:25:04.340 And, right here is my contact information. 00:25:05.120 --> 00:25:13.840 And so feel free to screenshot it or write it down, so that if you have any questions about the program, I'll be able to work with you. 00:25:13.840 --> 00:25:14.960 You're welcome to call. 00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:16.000 You're welcome to text. 00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:19.415 This number does text as well, and you're welcome to email. 00:25:20.515 --> 00:25:35.450 And in that little blue box at the bottom, if you decide to complete an application form, typically, it's $55, but we can waive the fee for you if you put in the code CCMMP1999. 00:25:35.450 --> 00:25:40.830 So with that code, you won't have to pay for your scholarship excuse me, for for your application. 00:25:42.570 --> 00:25:46.830 So that brings us to the end of the, of the program. 00:25:47.635 --> 00:25:55.255 For those of you that may be logging off, I really appreciate you being here and, allowing me to tell you about the master's in psychology. 00:25:56.115 --> 00:26:01.575 But right now, I'm gonna open up the floor to all of you for any questions that you have so we can go over that. 00:26:02.180 --> 00:26:05.400 So I think there are a couple of questions that have already started. 00:26:06.260 --> 00:26:08.280 So the first question let's see. 00:26:09.540 --> 00:26:12.920 Does practice of clinical psychology require a PhD? 00:26:14.235 --> 00:26:15.435 That's a great question. 00:26:15.435 --> 00:26:25.775 So clinical psychology, being licensed as a clinical psychologist, which happens it does happen at the doctoral level, it's up to what your state requires. 00:26:26.330 --> 00:26:36.270 Many times, they will recognize a PhD, but sometimes they're a little bit more strict, and they want you to get a PsyD in clinical psychology. 00:26:36.890 --> 00:26:39.310 Usually, they want it to be APA accredited. 00:26:39.955 --> 00:26:44.615 So I would suggest that you do your research to see what your state requires for that. 00:26:44.995 --> 00:26:49.655 But the master's in psychology is a good foundation before going into your doctorate. 00:26:51.155 --> 00:26:52.615 And then there's another question. 00:26:53.235 --> 00:26:54.055 Let's see. 00:26:57.240 --> 00:26:57.640 Sure. 00:26:57.640 --> 00:27:07.100 So the question was if we could share a recording session, I'd be happy to share this webinar with you in case you wanted to refer back to it with the information. 00:27:10.135 --> 00:27:10.935 And let's see. 00:27:10.935 --> 00:27:13.595 I believe there are more questions coming in. 00:27:14.135 --> 00:27:18.395 So one question is, when is the deadline for this spring's cohort? 00:27:19.495 --> 00:27:22.630 Right now, we're still enrolling for the spring start date. 00:27:22.630 --> 00:27:25.110 Our spring start is going to be on January 5. 00:27:25.110 --> 00:27:28.170 So even though we're less than a month away, we're still enrolling. 00:27:28.630 --> 00:27:35.450 The deadline, however, officially, is December 16 for you to submit your application form. 00:27:35.775 --> 00:27:40.415 So if you're interested in enrolling for this upcoming start date, we're still welcoming students. 00:27:40.415 --> 00:27:41.475 We still have scholarships. 00:27:41.535 --> 00:27:48.755 There's still places for you even though they're getting filled up, but I'd be happy to work with you in getting an application started. 00:27:50.220 --> 00:27:52.080 And I'm just reading this next one. 00:27:52.300 --> 00:27:54.320 Can you send a list of courses, descriptions? 00:27:54.380 --> 00:27:59.180 I'd be happy to provide the courses and the descriptions of the courses. 00:27:59.180 --> 00:28:05.945 It's on our website, actually, so you're welcome to go there now and see the curriculum and see what each course entails. 00:28:06.645 --> 00:28:13.385 But if you wanted to get in touch with me and we can talk about it and I can provide that information, I'd be more than happy to do that. 00:28:14.645 --> 00:28:16.185 And the deadline for scholarships. 00:28:16.565 --> 00:28:20.680 So, it depends on what scholarships are available. 00:28:20.900 --> 00:28:26.600 But right now, we're still, as we're still enrolling students, we still have those scholarships available. 00:28:26.900 --> 00:28:35.925 So we're gonna have those, as far as I know, available up until the start date for those that are actually completing their applications on time. 00:28:36.705 --> 00:28:40.245 And the next question, are books sent to us via post? 00:28:40.545 --> 00:28:46.405 So the books are actually going to be electronic, and so the electronic versions will be included. 00:28:46.465 --> 00:28:48.085 You won't have to pay for those. 00:28:48.520 --> 00:28:53.480 But if you're looking to use hard copy versions, that would be an expense, that's up to you. 00:28:53.480 --> 00:29:02.620 And usually, you can find these books on Amazon or on different, different platforms, and you can find used versions so you can save yourself some money. 00:29:04.635 --> 00:29:07.375 But, again, the electronic versions are included. 00:29:08.235 --> 00:29:10.315 And how do you know which books you will need? 00:29:10.315 --> 00:29:14.735 So you're gonna actually get that information early on in your orientation. 00:29:14.955 --> 00:29:19.130 You'll be working with different departments in the university after being admitted. 00:29:19.350 --> 00:29:27.510 You'll work with our student success department, with registrar, and we'll make sure that you have this information early on or as early as we can. 00:29:27.510 --> 00:29:37.755 So if you're actually admitted last minute, and there's still gonna be a gap between the admissions, or the the deadline and when the start date is, so you'll be able to get that information. 00:29:38.135 --> 00:29:45.995 You'll have the, the electronic versions readily available in case you need them right away. 00:29:47.310 --> 00:29:55.810 But, you know, again, if you wanted to get hard copy versions or audio audio versions, you can always do that outside of getting the electronic versions. 00:29:56.750 --> 00:29:57.250 Alright. 00:29:57.310 --> 00:29:58.190 Well, you know what? 00:29:58.190 --> 00:30:01.810 I really appreciate all of you taking time out of your day. 00:30:03.125 --> 00:30:14.665 Again, I'll I'll make sure to, you know, if if you wanted to get this, get this webinar sent to you so you can refer back to it, I'll make sure that all of this is sent to you. 00:30:14.910 --> 00:30:20.850 But if you're interested in getting in touch with me, again, on the screen is my contact information. 00:30:20.910 --> 00:30:25.890 I would be happy to have a one on one with each of you and just to see if this is a good option. 00:30:26.670 --> 00:30:32.735 So with that said, thank you all again for taking your time out of your day to speak with me. 00:30:32.955 --> 00:30:35.615 I wish you all a great day, and God bless. 00:30:35.675 --> 00:30:36.335 Bye bye.
