00:03:59.010 --> 00:04:02.630 So how is our online master's in psychology unique? 00:04:03.115 --> 00:04:05.935 100% online classes on your schedule. 00:04:06.155 --> 00:04:09.995 So this, I thought, was super amazing because, again, it's a 100% online. 00:04:09.995 --> 00:04:18.270 So we also have a lot of international students in our program because they're able to access our education system anywhere around the world. 00:04:18.270 --> 00:04:25.170 I mean, I was even on a cruise in The Caribbean, and I was downloading audiobooks on my on my phone, watching lectures on my phone. 00:04:25.310 --> 00:04:27.090 So it's actually just that accessible. 00:04:27.310 --> 00:04:35.515 And, really, classes on your schedule, outside of weekly due dates, make sure you make sure you remember when Eastern Eastern Standard Time is. 00:04:35.735 --> 00:04:39.115 But other than that, really, classes on your schedule, you learn on your own. 00:04:40.935 --> 00:04:43.035 Built on an integrated approach to psychology. 00:04:43.760 --> 00:04:45.040 So there's this textbook. 00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:46.340 You can get it on Amazon. 00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:49.140 It's called the Catholic Christian Metal Model of the Person. 00:04:49.440 --> 00:04:52.820 And there are three main sections of that book, which I thought was fascinating. 00:04:52.880 --> 00:04:56.180 I was scared as a person who majored in engineering. 00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:59.295 I had maybe one writing course in my entire life. 00:05:00.095 --> 00:05:05.215 I was so scared about writing and reading books, but it was an amazing textbook. 00:05:05.215 --> 00:05:07.875 And you go through the entire thing in the program. 00:05:08.095 --> 00:05:12.970 So we view each person philosophically, theologically, and psychologically. 00:05:13.270 --> 00:05:17.610 We are made in the image and likeness of God, but we have rational thought and emotions. 00:05:17.670 --> 00:05:22.010 But then how does that play into living virtuous lives, following our vocation? 00:05:22.310 --> 00:05:26.250 How does that lead me to flourishing and help help others flourish as well? 00:05:26.715 --> 00:05:26.955 K. 00:05:26.955 --> 00:05:29.935 The book, I'm gonna write it in the chat here. 00:05:30.075 --> 00:05:30.575 K. 00:05:30.955 --> 00:05:33.295 Catholic oop. 00:05:33.915 --> 00:05:34.715 If I can spell. 00:05:34.715 --> 00:05:38.335 Catholic Christian meta model of the person. 00:05:39.390 --> 00:05:39.890 K? 00:05:40.270 --> 00:05:42.370 Catholic Christian Meta Model of the Person. 00:05:42.830 --> 00:05:45.470 Amazing book, and it was fairly accessible. 00:05:45.470 --> 00:05:53.805 I was it was more accessible than I thought because I think sometimes psychology can be common sense, but it's nice to have it written down and just explained to you as well. 00:05:53.805 --> 00:05:54.705 It's a very accessible book. 00:05:55.325 --> 00:05:56.465 Really great read. 00:05:56.765 --> 00:05:57.905 I loved it very much. 00:05:58.365 --> 00:06:04.145 There are two completion options for this, masters, which is a sixteen month, which is a full time load. 00:06:04.205 --> 00:06:16.290 You're talking about maybe thirty to forty hours a week dedicated to your classes or the twenty six month completion option, which was really great for me because I was a full time worker as a part time student. 00:06:16.670 --> 00:06:17.170 K? 00:06:17.310 --> 00:06:19.550 Then this will just be one class at a time. 00:06:19.550 --> 00:06:26.385 You're dedicating about ten to twenty hours a week, for the twenty six month option. 00:06:26.525 --> 00:06:29.985 So this is just over one year, and it's just over two years. 00:06:30.125 --> 00:06:30.625 K? 00:06:30.845 --> 00:06:34.925 Individualized feedback from faculty, which I thought was really fascinating. 00:06:34.925 --> 00:06:40.620 I got an email every week from my professor telling me how I'm doing, what I need to work on. 00:06:41.320 --> 00:06:50.360 Really, the whole point of that is just to make sure you're not just on the right track, but to see if you're if you have any questions, any, anything that you're having trouble comprehending, for example. 00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:50.520 Right? 00:06:50.520 --> 00:06:53.835 So it's great to have this weekly feedback from faculty. 00:06:54.615 --> 00:07:01.275 Small student to faculty ratio, I think the most I've ever had in one class is maybe 20, which is really nice. 00:07:01.335 --> 00:07:01.735 Right? 00:07:01.735 --> 00:07:04.535 I got to know each of those people really well. 00:07:04.535 --> 00:07:13.250 I mean, I still have the group chat from my cohort still going on my WhatsApp, so it's nice to have that connection with all of all of the students. 00:07:14.030 --> 00:07:20.130 We have different kinds of learning modalities as well, books, prerecorded lectures, audiobook. 00:07:22.115 --> 00:07:29.415 And then you also get opportunities as well to implement what you've learned and reflect on it, k, as well as experienced and supportive faculty. 00:07:30.995 --> 00:07:33.315 So benefits of the psychology program. 00:07:33.315 --> 00:07:36.240 Go ahead and read through these. 00:07:36.300 --> 00:07:36.800 Okay? 00:07:36.940 --> 00:07:41.840 Because, really, the whole point of psychology is just to help because you want to help other people. 00:07:42.140 --> 00:07:44.240 But first, we have to really learn ourselves. 00:07:44.540 --> 00:07:45.040 Right? 00:07:45.100 --> 00:07:52.705 The you you wanna gain a better understanding of yourself while you're reading state psychology, while you're going through these science classes. 00:07:52.925 --> 00:07:54.205 It's good to understand yourself. 00:07:54.205 --> 00:07:58.045 You can help so you can help others, succeed as well. 00:07:58.045 --> 00:07:58.365 Right? 00:07:58.365 --> 00:08:01.770 If I can flourish for myself, I can help other people flourish. 00:08:02.010 --> 00:08:05.310 And not just, you know, at the workplace, but also just personally. 00:08:07.050 --> 00:08:12.910 You can also start to offer innovative solutions to problems based on psychological explanation of behaviors. 00:08:13.290 --> 00:08:17.475 You're going to go through a lot of classes, and I'm going to explain explain what those classes are. 00:08:17.475 --> 00:08:17.975 K? 00:08:18.595 --> 00:08:24.135 Really, for me, the most important benefit for me was developing excellence in communication. 00:08:25.235 --> 00:08:30.880 There are some classes that are focused more on counseling and how to do more one on one work or group work. 00:08:31.100 --> 00:08:36.800 And for me, I learned how to not only communicate well, but also to lead groups as well. 00:08:37.020 --> 00:08:37.520 K. 00:08:38.220 --> 00:08:42.880 Ray, how many classes in this session, four to sixty months, have the cohort set up? 00:08:43.545 --> 00:08:47.405 Well, everyone has the same number of classes, and I'll explain that. 00:08:47.585 --> 00:08:52.425 But, six for the sixteen month track, it's two classes at a time. 00:08:52.425 --> 00:08:52.665 K? 00:08:52.665 --> 00:08:54.525 And I'll explain that a little bit more. 00:08:54.665 --> 00:08:56.125 How many weeks per semester? 00:08:56.185 --> 00:08:59.680 So each class is an are eight weeks long. 00:08:59.740 --> 00:09:02.880 Each class is eight week eight eight weeks long. 00:09:03.500 --> 00:09:05.040 And we call that a term. 00:09:05.820 --> 00:09:10.395 So there are two terms in the fall, two terms in the spring, one term in the summer. 00:09:10.635 --> 00:09:17.375 Five terms in total each year, but we have a fall, spring, and summer semester, so to speak. 00:09:17.435 --> 00:09:17.935 K? 00:09:20.635 --> 00:09:24.580 So this is not for, for license. 00:09:24.580 --> 00:09:26.440 This is just for general psychology. 00:09:26.820 --> 00:09:30.120 But I will explain the counseling one a little bit later as well. 00:09:30.740 --> 00:09:31.060 K?

00:11:54.160 --> 00:11:56.865 What is your current living, living situation? 00:11:56.865 --> 00:11:58.545 I mean, let's look at the whole process. 00:11:58.545 --> 00:12:00.005 Look at look at the whole person. 00:12:00.305 --> 00:12:00.805 K? 00:12:02.305 --> 00:12:04.485 The second class is developmental psychology. 00:12:05.025 --> 00:12:11.685 I mean, you only have eight weeks in each class, but in in each week for this class, you went through an age group. 00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:20.280 You went through newborns and then infancy and then childhood, adolescence, early childhood, late adult sorry. 00:12:20.280 --> 00:12:22.940 Early adulthood, late adulthood, elderhood. 00:12:23.160 --> 00:12:32.405 Like, that was just so fascinating for me because you go through what each age group is going through physically, cognitively, spiritually, emotionally. 00:12:33.105 --> 00:12:35.605 That this class was one of my favorite classes. 00:12:35.745 --> 00:12:37.605 I also had a great professor there. 00:12:37.825 --> 00:12:38.325 K. 00:12:40.660 --> 00:12:41.380 Developmental again. 00:12:41.380 --> 00:12:41.620 Hey. 00:12:41.620 --> 00:12:43.240 Developmental psychology is awesome. 00:12:43.380 --> 00:12:43.700 K. 00:12:43.700 --> 00:12:44.920 I actually loved it. 00:12:45.460 --> 00:12:58.695 Developmental psychopathology, which is more abnormal psychology, you know, borderline personality disorder, eating disorders, substance abuse, and how risk and resilience plays into that the psychopathology. 00:12:59.555 --> 00:13:02.695 Cognition, emotion, motivation, I call this the BRAIN class. 00:13:03.075 --> 00:13:10.950 It's really more about how we think, how peep what are what motivates people, how people make decisions, how do how does your brain create emotion. 00:13:11.410 --> 00:13:11.810 K? 00:13:11.810 --> 00:13:14.870 So you get to learn about the parts of the brain and how it works. 00:13:15.730 --> 00:13:30.455 The next class is the only philosophy course on vocations and virtues Because, yes, you have all of these you you get you're getting you're gaining a lot of psych psychological science knowledge, but then how can I apply it? 00:13:30.515 --> 00:13:32.915 Let's think let's think whole person. 00:13:32.915 --> 00:13:33.360 Right? 00:13:33.520 --> 00:13:35.280 The person has vocations. 00:13:35.280 --> 00:13:36.820 They are called to do something. 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:40.340 They also are called to live virtuous lives as well. 00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:46.660 A lot of, John Paul the second writings in here as well, so this is really great. 00:13:47.695 --> 00:13:50.495 Statistics, the only, quote, unquote, math course. 00:13:50.495 --> 00:13:58.655 Now as an engineer, I'm kind of against statistics because it's like numbers with words, but don't worry about the math. 00:13:58.655 --> 00:14:02.050 For those who haven't done math in a long time, it's okay. 00:14:02.190 --> 00:14:04.610 It's really more about can you interpret the data? 00:14:04.990 --> 00:14:06.450 Can you interpret the data? 00:14:07.870 --> 00:14:12.190 So you're reading a lot of research papers for this course, but I actually thoroughly enjoyed it. 00:14:12.190 --> 00:14:14.690 It was really neat to understand different kinds of statistics. 00:14:15.150 --> 00:14:15.650 K? 00:14:16.045 --> 00:14:21.905 Social psychology, how group work, and how diversity plays into those groups. 00:14:22.125 --> 00:14:25.105 Really understanding how to lead groups as well, very important. 00:14:25.405 --> 00:14:27.565 And then research methodology and design. 00:14:27.565 --> 00:14:37.000 So, again, we are a research heavy, we are a research heavy program, so it's good to understand how research is done as well as evaluating program. 00:14:37.860 --> 00:14:44.600 Now as I said, there were 11 courses in total, but there are three electives, and you will find those in the tracks themselves. 00:14:44.900 --> 00:14:45.400 K? 00:14:45.460 --> 00:14:51.995 I actually got a lot of, I got a lot of feedback on each track, so I'm just gonna go through each of them. 00:14:51.995 --> 00:14:52.495 K? 00:14:52.795 --> 00:15:05.610 So for the marriage and family track prepares students to encourage couples and families towards flourishing, such as marriage prep, marriage enrichment education programs, training couples, become directors of marriage and family in their churches. 00:15:05.610 --> 00:15:05.770 K? 00:15:05.770 --> 00:15:14.030 So we have a lot of we have a lot of people that actually move into marriage, and family related occupations after taking this track. 00:15:14.795 --> 00:15:18.075 And these are the three electives for the marriage and family track. 00:15:18.075 --> 00:15:23.855 I forgot to mention earlier that even, let's say, if you don't know which track you're gonna go into, there's time. 00:15:24.155 --> 00:15:24.555 Right? 00:15:24.555 --> 00:15:27.995 Because there are a few core courses you still have to take before you take these anyway. 00:15:27.995 --> 00:15:28.975 So it's okay. 00:15:29.340 --> 00:15:39.980 They would like to know probably in the beginning what you're probably interested in, but your academic adviser will actually help you, decide, which track really suits what you're looking for. 00:15:39.980 --> 00:15:40.480 K? 00:15:40.540 --> 00:15:43.680 So, again, these are the three electives, their marriage and family track. 00:15:43.885 --> 00:15:54.385 I forgot which which class in general, but you become one of these, you become a focus facilitator, which is a marriage prep, a marriage preparation program. 00:15:56.540 --> 00:16:02.460 The human services track here, I consider this more of a counseling sort of the counseling track. 00:16:02.460 --> 00:16:02.940 K? 00:16:02.940 --> 00:16:07.600 So remember, this is not for licensure, but if you want to take some counseling courses, this is the one. 00:16:07.660 --> 00:16:09.280 I took two of these courses. 00:16:09.845 --> 00:16:10.005 K. 00:16:10.005 --> 00:16:19.225 The first one is, that I took was called relationship intervention skills theory and application, and this one taught you how to work with people one on one. 00:16:19.365 --> 00:16:28.530 You actually had to record yourself on practicing a lot of empathy, how to attend to people, how to show what's the difference between sympathy and empathy. 00:16:28.830 --> 00:16:29.330 Right? 00:16:29.630 --> 00:16:39.810 So this is really for those who meet, people one on one a lot more on a daily basis, those who are in social work or in some kind of human services occupation. 00:16:40.455 --> 00:16:43.515 The other one I did was called group counseling group work. 00:16:44.055 --> 00:16:47.515 We did a lot of, meetings on Zoom. 00:16:47.655 --> 00:16:53.495 I mean, Zoom is obviously not the best thing if you're gonna learn counseling, but it taught me how to lead group. 00:16:53.495 --> 00:17:02.160 It taught me how I work in a group, how I can lead people in a group, as well as how I can be, a better follower by being a better leader. 00:17:03.020 --> 00:17:11.205 Now I was actually kind of bummed because one of my one of my friends in my cohort actually said the personality individual differences intelligence was an amazing course. 00:17:11.685 --> 00:17:15.045 It really taught you, like, how how personalities work. 00:17:15.045 --> 00:17:21.145 This the different theories of personalities and how does that play into the communication that you give to other people. 00:17:21.205 --> 00:17:21.705 K? 00:17:22.885 --> 00:17:23.785 Let's see. 00:17:26.030 --> 00:17:27.710 How many total credit units? 00:17:27.710 --> 00:17:27.950 Okay. 00:17:27.950 --> 00:17:28.110 Yeah. 00:17:28.110 --> 00:17:30.510 I will get to finances at the end. 00:17:30.510 --> 00:17:33.950 I just wanna make sure you understand the program first. 00:17:33.950 --> 00:17:34.450 Okay? 00:17:37.375 --> 00:17:38.355 Third is leadership. 00:17:38.895 --> 00:17:45.875 Leadership concentration, leadership track, trains individuals who are responsible for leading people, programs, and organizations. 00:17:46.415 --> 00:17:46.895 K? 00:17:46.895 --> 00:17:53.650 So I said I was a I was, a sacraments coordinator at my previous parish, but I also was a leader. 00:17:53.790 --> 00:18:02.050 I was a point of contact for a lot of families who had a lot of questions, who are coming back to the church, and I led small groups, large groups. 00:18:02.110 --> 00:18:05.505 So a leadership concentration was actually really good for me as well. 00:18:05.505 --> 00:18:08.145 I think I took transformational leadership. 00:18:08.145 --> 00:18:12.885 I just wanted to be a better leader and not I want I need more leadership skills. 00:18:12.945 --> 00:18:13.425 Right? 00:18:13.425 --> 00:18:22.420 So we actually have a lot of VPs, CEOs, human resources, people in our program as well, and this was perfect for them. 00:18:22.560 --> 00:18:23.040 Right? 00:18:23.040 --> 00:18:26.580 This is a great chance for them to really better their organization. 00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:35.535 And then if you're not sure which track you really wanna go into, self design is a great option. 00:18:35.755 --> 00:18:36.255 K? 00:18:36.315 --> 00:18:44.095 So about more about a third of our students choose self design because they would rather choose the elective that fits, their interest best. 00:18:44.610 --> 00:18:45.090 K? 00:18:45.090 --> 00:18:54.710 So when I did self design, I did relationship intervention skills, transformational leadership, and then the group counseling and group work. 00:18:55.170 --> 00:18:55.670 K? 00:18:55.810 --> 00:19:05.495 So, hopefully, that's really interesting to people, because it's they're all psych psychology based, and we're still trying to see what more we can add to these tracks. 00:19:05.495 --> 00:19:07.915 But we are slowly developing that over time. 00:19:10.135 --> 00:19:14.970 For those who want to go into PhD, k, a PhD program. 00:19:15.430 --> 00:19:18.410 The pre PhD track means you actually write a thesis. 00:19:19.030 --> 00:19:19.430 K? 00:19:19.430 --> 00:19:28.570 You will you will actually have to come up with a research plan, get it approved, do the research, write your thesis, and defend at the end of your program. 00:19:29.155 --> 00:19:29.395 K. 00:19:29.395 --> 00:19:30.195 It's actually kinda neat. 00:19:30.195 --> 00:19:36.195 If you're in the program already, you can actually attend, the public defenses on Zoom. 00:19:36.195 --> 00:19:37.415 It's actually kind of neat. 00:19:37.555 --> 00:19:38.055 K? 00:19:38.195 --> 00:19:43.075 So this thesis, so instead of remember I said we have three electives. 00:19:43.075 --> 00:19:43.575 Right? 00:19:43.790 --> 00:19:49.010 So two of them will be taken up with thesis writing, and then you get one free elective. 00:19:49.230 --> 00:19:49.630 K? 00:19:49.630 --> 00:19:55.250 You get to choose one elective you want, but the other two electives will be for thesis work. 00:19:55.390 --> 00:19:55.890 K? 00:19:55.950 --> 00:20:07.445 Now that's not to say that your master's doesn't include like, for those who just want to do a normal track, that it doesn't conclude it doesn't end with a thesis, but it does end with something called a capstone project. 00:20:08.145 --> 00:20:08.645 K? 00:20:08.705 --> 00:20:25.720 So a capstone project, essentially, is if you're finding a need or, like, a like, a gap in one of your programs or what you do, at work, and you research and you write a paper, and you do sort of present at the end of the program. 00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:29.395 So for example, I I'm a sacrament I was a sacraments coordinator. 00:20:30.095 --> 00:20:34.515 The our the first communion program at my parish was geared solely for kids. 00:20:35.135 --> 00:20:36.035 That was it. 00:20:36.175 --> 00:20:44.470 And I realized that the kids won't care about communion and mass if the parents don't care. 00:20:44.610 --> 00:21:05.175 I researched, parents, small group learning, Gen z versus Boomer versus millennial learning styles, and all of that culminated into a capstone project in which now not just my parish now has child formation and parent formation for first communion, and they do it they do it together. 00:21:05.635 --> 00:21:06.035 Right? 00:21:06.035 --> 00:21:22.850 Not only did the parents get to meet other adults in their community, but the kids get to also meet other kids in their age group as well, and the whole family then is supported through first communion instead of just teaching kids point blank, you know, what first communion is. 00:21:23.115 --> 00:21:24.715 So that was my capstone project. 00:21:24.715 --> 00:21:29.935 Now you don't have to implement your capstone project, but you do research and come up with a solution. 00:21:30.315 --> 00:21:30.795 K? 00:21:30.795 --> 00:21:35.775 Well, I just happen to be able to to execute mine. 00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:38.420 So that's the prepaid fee track. 00:21:38.560 --> 00:21:40.900 They will they will, of course, assign you an adviser. 00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:46.660 You will, again, have to come up with a research plan, get it approved, and do the research and defend. 00:21:47.760 --> 00:21:48.260 K? 00:21:48.665 --> 00:21:53.085 Now the bioethics track is really perfect for those who are in health care health care field. 00:21:53.785 --> 00:21:56.685 Now those remember when I said that there are three electives? 00:21:57.145 --> 00:22:03.225 The three electives here are taken through the National Catholic Bioethics Center, and they have modules here for health care. 00:22:03.225 --> 00:22:03.725 K? 00:22:03.860 --> 00:22:10.820 Foundations of Catholic health care, ethical challenges at the beginning and end of life, about research, vaccines, and gender. 00:22:10.820 --> 00:22:16.600 So this is super important for those who who face these bioethical challenges in their line of work. 00:22:16.935 --> 00:22:17.255 K? 00:22:17.255 --> 00:22:23.675 Now you can just get the certificate if you want just a bioethics, but you're already more than halfway through the program. 00:22:24.455 --> 00:22:28.315 If you just wanna do a certificate, you can just finish the masters. 00:22:28.775 --> 00:22:30.155 That's really up to you. 00:22:31.930 --> 00:22:37.150 So the learning experience, as I mentioned earlier, you really get the ability to work anywhere, anytime. 00:22:37.450 --> 00:22:37.950 K? 00:22:38.010 --> 00:22:43.945 So my friends who are in Columbia and other places in the world, no problem. 00:22:43.945 --> 00:22:48.045 You have continuous access to the learning management system, which is called Canvas. 00:22:49.065 --> 00:22:53.245 And, again, I pointed out the weekly individualized feedback from your professors. 00:22:53.625 --> 00:22:57.245 And, really, you can travel, and you can still do work wherever. 00:22:57.520 --> 00:22:59.620 Now there are weekly due dates. 00:22:59.760 --> 00:23:03.380 As long as you keep track of your weekly due dates, no problem. 00:23:03.760 --> 00:23:07.920 So, I in my previous line of work, I was working weekends. 00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:08.980 I was working nights. 00:23:09.280 --> 00:23:14.735 So I just set aside a few hours every morning to do the work. 00:23:15.795 --> 00:23:17.095 This is our core faculty. 00:23:17.155 --> 00:23:19.895 Doctor Julia Talley here is the program director. 00:23:20.195 --> 00:23:20.755 Super nice. 00:23:20.755 --> 00:23:22.035 You can always reach out to her. 00:23:22.035 --> 00:23:26.535 And the rest of our faculty, of course, have PhDs or clinical or clinical psychologist. 00:23:27.260 --> 00:23:27.760 K? 00:23:27.820 --> 00:23:32.700 Doctor Gross here is the, philosophy professor and all the rest. 00:23:32.700 --> 00:23:38.720 I have I have actually taken a course from every professor on this page, and they were amazing. 00:23:39.815 --> 00:23:46.235 Once you get in starting to do your capstone project, you will get assigned an adviser, and my adviser was actually doctor Williamson. 00:23:46.295 --> 00:23:51.035 He was also in Texas at the time, so it was really great to have someone close by as well. 00:23:51.175 --> 00:23:51.675 K? 00:23:51.735 --> 00:23:53.410 So this is the core faculty. 00:23:53.410 --> 00:23:56.070 Not all the faculty, but some but some of them. 00:23:57.810 --> 00:24:02.710 So that being said, let's talk about the acceptance requirement. 00:24:03.010 --> 00:24:03.510 K? 00:24:03.890 --> 00:24:11.765 You must have a bachelor's degree from an institution accredited by an agency recognized by the Department of Education or an internationally recognized institution. 00:24:12.385 --> 00:24:12.885 K? 00:24:13.105 --> 00:24:18.085 So, my bachelor's degree was in engineering, and that's no problem. 00:24:18.145 --> 00:24:18.545 K? 00:24:18.545 --> 00:24:29.300 Any major can apply for the master's in psychology because you, it's okay if you don't have the prerequisites in psychology because you will get it all back in the program. 00:24:29.760 --> 00:24:38.205 Now for those who my those who are international students, you need to get their transcript evaluated if you haven't done so already. 00:24:38.665 --> 00:24:39.165 K? 00:24:39.225 --> 00:24:42.125 Evaluated by, someone here in The US. 00:24:42.345 --> 00:24:49.645 WES is, WES is a typical organization that can do that and make sure that it is equivalent to a bachelor's degree. 00:24:50.740 --> 00:24:54.040 Applicants must have at least a 2.5 GPA to be admitted. 00:24:54.980 --> 00:25:02.680 Those less than two point, ten five can choose to do their GRE as well, but we can always talk about that a little bit more. 00:25:03.220 --> 00:25:07.235 I want masters psychology and present and learn a few. 00:25:07.855 --> 00:25:09.395 Oh, awesome. 00:25:11.535 --> 00:25:12.435 Thank you, Daniel. 00:25:14.335 --> 00:25:14.735 Yes. 00:25:14.735 --> 00:25:17.455 Let me let me talk about that a little bit more in a second. 00:25:17.455 --> 00:25:17.955 Okay? 00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:19.020 That's great. 00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:21.180 Two letters of recommendation. 00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:26.700 We do have recommendation links, in which you will send to recommenders, and we need two of those. 00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:32.460 Resume, written statement of intent indicating how your goals align with the goals of the program. 00:25:33.135 --> 00:25:39.315 And then for, those who are from non native English speaking countries, a TOEFL or an IELTS score. 00:25:39.855 --> 00:25:40.175 K? 00:25:40.175 --> 00:25:41.795 You can take the online version. 00:25:41.935 --> 00:25:42.595 No problem. 00:25:42.735 --> 00:25:46.755 But, really, what we're focused on is we we want you to succeed. 00:25:47.360 --> 00:25:47.860 K? 00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:51.460 So writing is the most important component for the program. 00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:54.740 Must have a good writing score for English. 00:25:55.520 --> 00:25:57.540 And now, as I said, I was an engineer. 00:25:57.760 --> 00:25:59.220 I had very little writing. 00:25:59.520 --> 00:26:02.425 But by the end of the program, you will be a writer. 00:26:03.045 --> 00:26:04.105 So no problem. 00:26:04.245 --> 00:26:04.745 K? 00:26:04.805 --> 00:26:09.865 I realized that I was really scared about writing, but when you love what you learn, it's not a chore. 00:26:11.205 --> 00:26:17.590 There is also a mandatory virtual orientation, as part of your onboarding into the university. 00:26:19.650 --> 00:26:21.110 So is grad school affordable? 00:26:21.330 --> 00:26:25.590 Because we are accredited, we do qualify for federal aid student loans. 00:26:27.155 --> 00:26:32.855 So what I did was, actually, I did a third student loans, a third scholarship, and a third out of pocket. 00:26:33.955 --> 00:26:37.335 So it didn't really hit the the wallet quite as hard. 00:26:37.395 --> 00:26:40.695 But definitely look in whether or not your employer has tuition reimbursement. 00:26:41.290 --> 00:26:41.610 Okay? 00:26:41.610 --> 00:26:43.150 Definitely look into that. 00:26:44.490 --> 00:26:49.950 Definitely also look into the diocese or maybe your pastor or your church might be willing to help you out as well. 00:26:50.090 --> 00:26:54.895 We are we do have approved veterans funding through the GI Bill for those who are in the military. 00:26:55.275 --> 00:26:58.415 We have the full list of scholarships and grants available here. 00:26:58.475 --> 00:27:02.415 The most the easiest one to get is the early admission scholarship. 00:27:02.635 --> 00:27:10.140 You can get up to 1,500 off your tuition if you if I get your application in, I do. 00:27:10.360 --> 00:27:10.860 K? 00:27:12.040 --> 00:27:15.960 There are also alternative methods of financing such as private funds out of pocket. 00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:18.540 Look for your any carriers or diocesan support. 00:27:18.840 --> 00:27:19.640 Always reach out. 00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:27.085 There's a lot of nonprofit, definitely locally, that can match funds, k, and cash plan. 00:27:27.085 --> 00:27:28.545 For me, this was super important. 00:27:29.405 --> 00:27:34.625 So through the school, through Divine Mercy, I was able to set up monthly payment plans, interest free. 00:27:35.110 --> 00:27:35.430 K? 00:27:35.430 --> 00:27:46.630 So if you're only going to be charged for the classes you're about to take, so whatever semester it is, whatever two classes I was about to take, I would pay for those, but I would set up monthly payment plans. 00:27:46.630 --> 00:27:48.730 And it was super helpful in that way. 00:27:50.085 --> 00:27:54.025 So with 11 courses, three credit hours per per course. 00:27:54.485 --> 00:27:54.985 K. 00:27:55.685 --> 00:27:56.565 Excuse me. 00:27:56.565 --> 00:27:58.425 $850 per credit. 00:27:59.445 --> 00:28:10.370 With thirty credit hours with the technology fees for Canvas and all of the library access as well, all the research papers you have access to, the other libraries you have access to. 00:28:10.370 --> 00:28:11.490 I thought that was great. 00:28:11.490 --> 00:28:13.250 There's a tech fee of $50. 00:28:13.250 --> 00:28:15.190 There's also a residency fee. 00:28:16.050 --> 00:28:20.790 So in that first class, there is a Friday and a Saturday residence, residency. 00:28:22.425 --> 00:28:27.145 Just that's the only time that you're required to meet online, k, as part of the program. 00:28:27.145 --> 00:28:28.605 The rest is really asynchronous. 00:28:29.225 --> 00:28:31.645 Total comes down to $28,008.50. 00:28:31.705 --> 00:28:42.800 Now there is an application fee, but, I can because you have come into the webinar today, I'm going to send you the the code to waive the application fee. 00:28:42.860 --> 00:28:43.180 K? 00:28:43.180 --> 00:28:44.400 So no problem, sir. 00:28:44.700 --> 00:28:46.140 I'm confused about the bioethics track. 00:28:46.140 --> 00:28:50.465 Are there additional credit requirements in addition to MS psychology core and electives? 00:28:50.465 --> 00:28:50.785 No. 00:28:50.785 --> 00:28:51.265 No. 00:28:51.265 --> 00:29:00.565 So in terms of the bioethics track, you do your four modules through the NCBC, and now that counts as the three electives. 00:29:03.070 --> 00:29:03.390 K. 00:29:03.390 --> 00:29:10.450 So for those who want to do the sixteen month truck, there is a slight discount for you in the first four courses. 00:29:10.910 --> 00:29:13.650 So that tuition is only 25,500. 00:29:13.870 --> 00:29:16.350 But do keep in mind, again, it's a full time load. 00:29:16.350 --> 00:29:23.335 You're You're talking about thirty to forty hours a week spent writing, reading, talking to professors, doing all that work. 00:29:23.335 --> 00:29:23.835 K? 00:29:23.895 --> 00:29:27.915 If you're doing the twenty six month route, it's still 20 around 28,000. 00:29:30.530 --> 00:29:31.030 Okay. 00:29:31.970 --> 00:29:32.770 Now is the time. 00:29:32.770 --> 00:29:42.645 If you have any other questions that I can answer while I'm here, I am during this time, go ahead and write questions, but I'm going to talk about the master's in counseling program. 00:29:42.705 --> 00:29:52.565 I know some of you were super interested in getting licensed as a therapist, and I am also the admissions adviser for that program. 00:29:54.305 --> 00:29:57.205 But this is not the math in psychology is not for licensure. 00:29:58.000 --> 00:29:58.500 K? 00:29:59.040 --> 00:30:14.555 Math in psychology is really research based, science based, learning how to research, learning how to create programs and effectively evaluate them as well, making sure that they're working the way you want to, really research based. 00:30:15.255 --> 00:30:18.695 If you want to do counseling, I'm gonna put my information here at the end. 00:30:18.695 --> 00:30:21.435 You can always email me, and we can talk about counseling instead. 00:30:21.735 --> 00:30:25.275 Are there any other questions from the master's in psychology program? 00:30:25.335 --> 00:30:27.415 I'm missing oh, there's two q and a. 00:30:27.415 --> 00:30:28.475 I am so sorry. 00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:31.900 Please explain more between MS psychology and MS counseling. 00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:32.700 Okay. 00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:35.500 I will go a little bit more into that. 00:30:35.560 --> 00:30:41.445 So MS in psychology is just your general psychology, research psychology, k? 00:30:41.445 --> 00:30:48.425 Where you can actually go ahead into a PhD into research psychology after this, after this program. 00:30:48.965 --> 00:30:50.025 And that's in counseling. 00:30:50.725 --> 00:30:54.905 It's, will prepare you for, like, for your licensing exam in your state. 00:30:55.140 --> 00:30:55.380 K. 00:30:55.380 --> 00:31:00.920 Our MS in counseling is CACREP accredited, so our program fits all 50 states. 00:31:01.300 --> 00:31:06.360 Now there's, like, maybe 10 states that need an extra class, but that's, again, still built into the program. 00:31:06.900 --> 00:31:07.400 K. 00:31:07.460 --> 00:31:10.600 However, it is twice as long than MSP. 00:31:11.595 --> 00:31:13.855 MSP is thirty three credit hours. 00:31:13.915 --> 00:31:18.095 MSP is sixty six, and that's per k credit accreditation. 00:31:18.635 --> 00:31:19.695 That's what they require. 00:31:19.915 --> 00:31:23.375 The built into the program is also seven hundred clinical hours. 00:31:23.890 --> 00:31:30.870 And after you finish the MS in counseling program, one hundred percent of our students pass their licensing exam. 00:31:31.010 --> 00:31:35.030 That's a great statistic that we're trying to keep, and we love that. 00:31:35.970 --> 00:31:36.470 Okay? 00:31:37.955 --> 00:31:38.855 Excuse me. 00:31:40.275 --> 00:31:45.635 Can we focus more than one concentration such as marriage and family and prepaid fee or something else? 00:31:45.635 --> 00:31:54.270 So the first three tracks that I was talking about, which were, marriage and family, leadership, and, human services. 00:31:55.050 --> 00:31:56.510 Those three, you can interchange. 00:31:57.050 --> 00:32:04.670 Pre PhD, however, you can do that alongside another one, but, of course, you would still have to pay for the thesis writing courses. 00:32:06.445 --> 00:32:07.485 But definitely doable. 00:32:07.485 --> 00:32:10.705 Definitely something we can talk to the program director about. 00:32:11.725 --> 00:32:13.165 Interested in licensing, how much? 00:32:13.165 --> 00:32:15.985 Is there any way to combine MS psychology and counseling? 00:32:19.550 --> 00:32:24.370 So I there are we do have a lot of students that do both programs. 00:32:24.590 --> 00:32:28.050 They would do a MSP and then move into counseling. 00:32:28.510 --> 00:32:32.965 There are up to fifteen fifteen no. 00:32:32.965 --> 00:32:40.245 18 up to up to 18 credits that can be transferred over to the counseling program, but that's not all of them. 00:32:40.245 --> 00:32:40.745 Right? 00:32:40.965 --> 00:32:46.265 So our courses some of our courses are also, possibly CACREP accredited as well. 00:32:46.910 --> 00:32:50.370 So some of those courses can transfer over to a counseling program. 00:32:51.230 --> 00:32:53.090 Are there any other questions?
