00:08:12.635 --> 00:08:13.135 Yeah. 00:08:13.195 --> 00:08:17.535 So Divine Mercy was founded in 1999 in December. 00:08:17.595 --> 00:08:19.680 Like, literally, like, around Christmas time. 00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:25.060 So we are coming up with our twenty fifth anniversary of the school, which I really love. 00:08:25.440 --> 00:08:35.555 And, really, the main reason why this program was created was because we just offer a different kind of psychology here at DMU. 00:08:36.095 --> 00:08:47.055 It was founded by a lot by, a group of psychologists who just didn't want to do the what is your what is your what are your symptoms? 00:08:47.055 --> 00:08:50.115 Here's your treatment plan, your medication, and buy. 00:08:50.910 --> 00:08:55.950 It was a little bit cold hearted, and psychology inherently in itself is not cold hearted at all. 00:08:55.950 --> 00:08:59.010 We want everyone to to be to be flourishing. 00:08:59.070 --> 00:09:00.350 We want everyone to heal. 00:09:00.350 --> 00:09:04.515 And you don't have to be, of course, a counselor to he to help others heal. 00:09:04.835 --> 00:09:11.335 Everyone in their own way can be a leader, can be a healer in faith wherever they are and whatever they do. 00:09:11.795 --> 00:09:16.375 So, we wanted to make psychology, of course, a lot more accessible to everyone. 00:09:16.980 --> 00:09:22.120 So that's why Divine Mercy was founded, and we're still here today twenty five years later. 00:09:25.060 --> 00:09:25.560 Okay. 00:09:26.020 --> 00:09:27.880 Oh, are you gonna take this one, Charice? 00:09:28.100 --> 00:09:28.600 Nope. 00:09:29.140 --> 00:09:29.640 Okay. 00:09:30.545 --> 00:09:31.025 Alright. 00:09:31.025 --> 00:09:33.685 So a couple of things here that are interesting. 00:09:35.265 --> 00:09:40.565 Probably what drew you to us in the first place, is that we are 100% online. 00:09:41.105 --> 00:09:51.160 All of the classes, on your schedule, everything, your books, your materials, everything is online, so easily accessible at any point. 00:09:52.740 --> 00:10:09.395 Also, the other thing and mostly that makes us most special is that, we integrate psychology with the, the Christian Catholic Christian understanding, and it offers a unique focus on the whole person. 00:10:10.340 --> 00:10:15.400 It's about combining the mind and spirit to foster healing. 00:10:18.900 --> 00:10:22.280 So that's probably the thing that drew you to us as well. 00:10:23.255 --> 00:10:33.675 The small student faculty ratio is important as well because, you'll get very close with your cohort and your professors. 00:10:35.255 --> 00:10:36.635 And this is by design. 00:10:36.935 --> 00:10:44.250 We do keep our classes smaller, but you'll have much better communication, more one on one. 00:10:44.250 --> 00:10:57.275 You'll receive a lot more feedback than you typically would in a traditional psychology class or school. 00:10:59.015 --> 00:10:59.915 Let's see. 00:11:00.375 --> 00:11:01.995 Did I miss anything, Charice? 00:11:03.990 --> 00:11:04.230 No. 00:11:04.230 --> 00:11:05.030 You did great. 00:11:05.030 --> 00:11:05.910 You're doing a great job. 00:11:05.910 --> 00:11:08.390 This is my first webinar, so I'm really sorry. 00:11:08.390 --> 00:11:09.510 I'm a little nervous. 00:11:09.510 --> 00:11:13.270 Even though I can't see all of your faces, I imagine you there. 00:11:13.270 --> 00:11:18.745 So I apologize if I'm not as, eloquent as Charice. 00:11:19.685 --> 00:11:22.505 She's doing a great job there, but I'm going to encourage her. 00:11:22.725 --> 00:11:25.225 So a couple of things again about about DMU. 00:11:25.925 --> 00:11:30.905 Again, we are we are built actually on a Catholic Christian anthropology. 00:11:31.620 --> 00:11:41.480 We have a book called The Catholic Christian Metal Model of the Person, where you you you learn how to view each person philosophically, theologically, and psychologically. 00:11:43.540 --> 00:11:50.445 Physical, mental, and spiritual well-being are all components to a person's healing, and it's just a wonderful book. 00:11:50.445 --> 00:11:51.645 You can actually go on Amazon. 00:11:51.645 --> 00:11:52.625 You can buy it. 00:11:52.685 --> 00:12:00.610 The first chapter is available on the website, And that actually, that was that's a really neat reading if you want to. 00:12:00.610 --> 00:12:09.010 It's very accessible to someone who for me, who's not, like, too heavy on on reading or can't or English as a second language. 00:12:09.010 --> 00:12:10.230 It's a wonderful book. 00:12:11.065 --> 00:12:20.925 And then I was really fascinated by the individualized feedback because, honestly, as I think as an undergrad, the most feedback I received from a professor was my grade. 00:12:21.465 --> 00:12:35.390 So it's nice that every week my professors are looking at what I'm doing, if I'm progressing, and making sure that I have adequate feedback so I can improve or maybe better my understanding of what we're learning. 00:12:36.170 --> 00:12:43.005 So it's nice that the that the professors are a lot more, social in that way and a lot more, responsive. 00:12:46.025 --> 00:12:48.345 See, look see, look, Michelle, everyone's happy. 00:12:48.345 --> 00:12:50.365 Christina says you're doing great. 00:12:50.630 --> 00:12:51.030 Thank you. 00:12:51.030 --> 00:12:53.130 Guardian angels in there. 00:12:53.750 --> 00:12:55.290 So all good. 00:12:55.510 --> 00:12:56.570 You're doing great. 00:12:57.430 --> 00:12:58.170 Keep going. 00:12:59.750 --> 00:13:00.250 Okay. 00:13:00.630 --> 00:13:02.970 So the benefits of this program. 00:13:04.525 --> 00:13:13.985 First of all, you you will gain a deeper understanding of yourself and others, either personally or in your professional or your ministry. 00:13:16.760 --> 00:13:18.380 All of these wonderful things. 00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:21.960 You foster personal and professional growth. 00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:22.940 I just said that. 00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:29.420 Provide innovative solutions, to problems using psychological insights. 00:13:30.585 --> 00:13:38.765 You will build skills to work effectively with diverse individuals in a changing world, ever changing world. 00:13:40.105 --> 00:13:45.940 You'll develop strong communication and interpersonal connection skills, and that's definitely very important. 00:13:46.400 --> 00:13:56.195 You'll a lot of people that are in this program work with a lot of diverse groups of people. 00:13:56.335 --> 00:14:09.235 And I'd have to say the one thing about this program is that you truly will learn how to work with young people, and old older people, and different diverse situations that you'll come across. 00:14:10.410 --> 00:14:14.590 I can also say that there are three goals for the MSP. 00:14:15.610 --> 00:14:22.110 The first one is understanding yourself and others, and we refer to that as psychological literacy. 00:14:23.375 --> 00:14:29.875 The second is personal and professional development, and the third are, skills to promote flourishing. 00:14:30.815 --> 00:14:40.980 And, it was told to me that you don't have to wait to graduate until you can utilize all of these things that you're learning in class. 00:14:41.680 --> 00:14:47.520 Everything is right away, you'll be using it with your family, with your friends. 00:14:47.520 --> 00:14:49.465 So it's kinda cool. 00:14:50.245 --> 00:14:54.665 You'll learn as you go, and, I can't wait to take my first class. 00:14:56.965 --> 00:14:57.465 Charice?

00:23:37.910 --> 00:23:43.370 And one of one of the I think she's still on the front page of the Divine Mercy website, Emily Ledum. 00:23:43.670 --> 00:23:52.025 She was actually a director of marriage and family in her diocese, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. 00:23:52.085 --> 00:23:52.805 I'm so bad. 00:23:52.805 --> 00:23:58.345 Anyway, she was a director of marriage and family in her diocese and now runs her own clinic. 00:23:58.805 --> 00:24:06.680 She actually has I think I think she has some graduates of this of the counseling program that she has in her clinic, and she just runs the clinic. 00:24:07.060 --> 00:24:08.280 So very amazing. 00:24:08.820 --> 00:24:17.525 So really good if you wanna be a coordinator or be a part of, like, family service organizations, director of early childhood education programs. 00:24:17.525 --> 00:24:22.745 So, again, this is really great for those who want to work with families and married couples. 00:24:24.885 --> 00:24:27.685 So this is the, the human services track. 00:24:27.685 --> 00:24:37.460 A little bit more on the counseling side, This concentration is intended for students who want to work in settings that focus on meeting human needs and promoting flourishing, like, more in a one on one setting. 00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:39.540 I actually took two of these courses. 00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:44.915 I took relationship intervention skills and group counseling, and I'm kind of bummed. 00:24:44.915 --> 00:24:49.475 I heard the personality course was amazing, and I kinda regret it. 00:24:49.475 --> 00:24:51.655 I might actually go back and take it for fun. 00:24:52.755 --> 00:24:57.095 But these were really great courses if you want to work with people more one on one. 00:24:57.350 --> 00:24:57.670 Right? 00:24:57.670 --> 00:25:09.610 So good career opportunities for this particular, track or if you wanna be a human services professional, not licensed counselors, grief and loss counselor, those who you know? 00:25:09.750 --> 00:25:20.615 I I know I met someone who was working with those who have immigrated to The US, trying to get them to help them be more assimilated here in The US. 00:25:21.075 --> 00:25:25.875 There's so many places that you can use these kinds of, classes. 00:25:25.875 --> 00:25:28.410 So, personally, this I I don't know. 00:25:28.410 --> 00:25:32.110 Michelle still finds it hard to believe, but I'm not very good at talking to people. 00:25:32.490 --> 00:25:33.690 So What? 00:25:34.090 --> 00:25:42.270 So when I that's the reason why I took some of these courses was before I took this master's program, I was I did not know how to talk to people. 00:25:42.445 --> 00:25:44.545 I was actually an engineer by trade. 00:25:44.765 --> 00:25:49.885 And for those science focused people, for me, a plus b equals c. 00:25:49.885 --> 00:25:50.125 Right? 00:25:50.125 --> 00:25:52.045 Just tell me what you want, and I go solve it. 00:25:52.045 --> 00:25:53.185 I'm a problem solver. 00:25:53.645 --> 00:25:57.290 But that's not what people want, nor is that what people need. 00:25:57.290 --> 00:26:03.630 A lot of people just want someone to listen to them, to encourage them, support them, be with them, accompany them. 00:26:04.170 --> 00:26:10.995 They a lot of people don't can't you know, I'm when people were coming to me in ministry, they weren't asking me to solve their problem. 00:26:11.155 --> 00:26:15.895 They were looking for someone with empathy, someone who understands your situation, someone who can help them. 00:26:16.115 --> 00:26:21.575 So, these were really great courses for that kind of one on one communication work. 00:26:22.915 --> 00:26:29.820 And we have our third track here called leadership, trans individuals who are responsible for leading people, programs, and organizations. 00:26:30.360 --> 00:26:45.155 Believe it or not, we do actually have usually, sometimes, we have some VPs or finance or human resources people in our in our program that just really want to better their communications people, but also know how to lead people as well. 00:26:45.155 --> 00:26:52.770 Because this is a great track for those who want to become a leader and know and want to create leaders as well. 00:26:53.010 --> 00:26:53.250 K? 00:26:53.250 --> 00:26:56.390 So these are the three electives for that for this track. 00:26:56.770 --> 00:27:01.410 Transformational leadership, leading people, programs, organizations, and applied leadership skills. 00:27:01.410 --> 00:27:08.550 So, again, really good for those who want to be a leader, want to be a better leader, want to create leaders as well. 00:27:08.825 --> 00:27:10.185 Know what kind of leader you are. 00:27:10.185 --> 00:27:22.685 So human resources, executive and nonprofits to become you know, I've seen people who actually use this track to move up promotionally, like, in an educational or ministry setting. 00:27:23.030 --> 00:27:25.530 One of my friends actually became a career coach. 00:27:26.550 --> 00:27:28.890 Really good things that you can do with this track. 00:27:30.070 --> 00:27:30.470 K. 00:27:30.470 --> 00:27:37.450 And I mentioned earlier that there was a self design, and, basically, it means that you can really choose your electives. 00:27:38.205 --> 00:27:38.705 K? 00:27:39.485 --> 00:27:42.945 So you have you can choose three electives here. 00:27:43.325 --> 00:27:48.525 This first row is marriage and family, the second row is leadership, and the third row is the human services track. 00:27:48.525 --> 00:28:02.020 So really, if you want to choose the electives you want, you want to, you know, mold it better to what you need in your in your program or in the work that you do, this is really good for you. 00:28:02.020 --> 00:28:02.520 K? 00:28:02.580 --> 00:28:07.720 So, for example, I did relationship intervention skills, transformational leadership, and group counseling. 00:28:08.755 --> 00:28:09.155 K. 00:28:09.155 --> 00:28:17.155 Because I was actually leading a lot of small groups at my parish, and I just wanted to learn more about how to lead lead small groups. 00:28:17.155 --> 00:28:19.715 So, again, you can really tailor this to what you want. 00:28:19.715 --> 00:28:21.415 So really good for those in ministry. 00:28:22.130 --> 00:28:22.610 K. 00:28:22.610 --> 00:28:26.950 Leaders in ministry really tailor the program to how you want it. 00:28:27.730 --> 00:28:30.230 So this is a really good flexible track. 00:28:31.730 --> 00:28:38.725 For those who are hardcore researchers or want to be a hardcore researcher, this is your pre PhD track. 00:28:39.345 --> 00:28:45.685 This concentration is designed for individuals seeking careers in research related fields or wanting to pursue doctoral level studies. 00:28:46.145 --> 00:28:57.040 So I don't know if you know this yet or if you've seen it on our site, but we are developing a PhD in psychology, that will follow the MSP program, this master's program. 00:28:57.040 --> 00:29:04.605 So if you do end up deciding to go into the PhD track, this pre PhD track is awesome. 00:29:04.665 --> 00:29:04.985 K? 00:29:04.985 --> 00:29:12.365 Because all 33 credits will be able to transfer over into your PhD program, and you'd only have 60 credits left to complete. 00:29:12.745 --> 00:29:13.245 K? 00:29:13.465 --> 00:29:17.005 So this particular track will culminate in a thesis. 00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:46.535 So you will have to come up with a research topic, defend your proposal, get it approved through the ethics board, do the research, and then do a final defense because psychological research does require data collection, does require some kind of, some kind of, idea towards, like, behavioral or mental illness or, you know, something in the psychology realm, not just a theological one, for example, or philosophical one. 00:29:46.820 --> 00:29:49.400 So it does have to have some kind of psychological topic. 00:29:49.940 --> 00:29:54.340 And you can finish this in six in six consecutive terms. 00:29:54.340 --> 00:30:01.320 So there's this one credit course, Psy six twenty, that you have to use for six terms, k, in total. 00:30:02.125 --> 00:30:03.085 So this is really good. 00:30:03.085 --> 00:30:15.840 Like, let's say, if you want to teach psychology in the future, if you wanna become a research assistant, data analyst, do some kind of work in the higher education level, this is a really good top, really good track for you. 00:30:15.900 --> 00:30:19.360 And you can really focus on the research topic that you want. 00:30:19.820 --> 00:30:24.880 So, for example, mine is more focused on discernment, vocation, and character strengths. 00:30:26.635 --> 00:30:32.635 I I thought to myself when I was in college that I wish I had discerned my major a bit more. 00:30:32.635 --> 00:30:35.035 I wish I had known a little bit more of what to do. 00:30:35.035 --> 00:30:41.940 Because, honestly, I only went to engineering because I was good at calculus and math, and that was not enough discernment because now I'm doing psychology. 00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:59.355 So, so I wanted to do a thesis topic on what character strengths can we, can we intervene with with college students, and what's their sense of calling as well as the impact on their mental health. 00:30:59.895 --> 00:31:01.675 So that's my thesis. 00:31:02.455 --> 00:31:05.835 But, again, you can really choose the kind of thesis topic that you want. 00:31:06.310 --> 00:31:07.830 We have really great topics right now. 00:31:07.830 --> 00:31:11.210 There was one on church hurt and religious identity. 00:31:12.150 --> 00:31:16.250 There was one on, religiosity and pornography use. 00:31:16.950 --> 00:31:18.645 A lot of great topics out there. 00:31:18.645 --> 00:31:24.025 And if you're interested in that, you can always email me, and we can talk about what potential topics that you're interested in. 00:31:24.405 --> 00:31:24.905 K? 00:31:26.325 --> 00:31:28.405 Last but not least, the bioethics track. 00:31:28.405 --> 00:31:31.845 So this is a slightly different track for those who are interested in it. 00:31:31.845 --> 00:31:41.410 So I said you get three passes, then, you know, three electives, but the electives for the bioethics track is through the National Catholic Bioethics Center right here, NCBC. 00:31:42.510 --> 00:31:48.195 And through that, through that organization, you're gonna take four modules here down here in the corner. 00:31:48.355 --> 00:32:05.150 So this is really good for those who are constantly, you know, encountering ethical situations in health care and just really want to understand what how to make good choices in in that sense, whether in the beginning of life, research vaccines, or end of life. 00:32:05.210 --> 00:32:07.050 There's a really great module for that. 00:32:07.050 --> 00:32:11.610 And if you just want the certificate in bioethics, that is a possibility as well. 00:32:11.610 --> 00:32:18.270 So you would take three core courses, one academic writing course, and then the electives to complete that certificate. 00:32:19.965 --> 00:32:22.865 So we have a lot of options here at DMU. 00:32:24.605 --> 00:32:29.825 So I know I think Leslie was asking for career opportunities. 00:32:30.365 --> 00:32:32.545 This is a great slide. 00:32:32.925 --> 00:32:35.665 If you want this slide, I can always forward this to you. 00:32:37.060 --> 00:32:37.560 K. 00:32:38.100 --> 00:32:41.940 So those in social mental health positions, this is a great list for that. 00:32:41.940 --> 00:32:50.600 Those who want to do organizational, corporate company work, nonprofit work, you can also do work in government or law enforcement. 00:32:51.155 --> 00:32:57.575 Actually, having a master's in psychology, I've heard, can actually bring you up a pay grade if you end up working for the government. 00:32:58.035 --> 00:33:01.255 Those in ministry appear in the top right and then education. 00:33:02.115 --> 00:33:02.615 K? 00:33:02.995 --> 00:33:10.460 So do keep in mind here that this particular master's in psychology is a lot more broad in application. 00:33:11.320 --> 00:33:11.560 K? 00:33:11.560 --> 00:33:18.995 You can really do a lot more with it, and you can really move up in the world as well, which is a master in psychology. 00:33:18.995 --> 00:33:24.055 It's a really good thing to have in your resume and looks really good for, you know, future prospects. 00:33:28.035 --> 00:33:29.895 So learning style. 00:33:31.170 --> 00:33:37.430 I know I don't know how many of you have done online learning before, but this is a 100% online course. 00:33:37.570 --> 00:33:41.990 So it is through a learning management platform called Canvas. 00:33:42.690 --> 00:33:43.830 It's fairly easy. 00:33:43.935 --> 00:33:44.915 It's fairly intuitive. 00:33:44.975 --> 00:33:46.755 We have modules every week. 00:33:46.895 --> 00:33:52.655 There are weekly due dates, and you really have the ability to work anytime, anywhere. 00:33:52.655 --> 00:34:04.710 So I remember even logging in to Canvas on my phone while I was on a cruise, And I was still able to see, like, what homeworks were coming up next, and I was able to see what quizzes were coming up. 00:34:04.710 --> 00:34:07.690 So there was really continuous access to the online platform. 00:34:08.630 --> 00:34:10.570 And there's many different ways to learn. 00:34:10.630 --> 00:34:18.385 All of the videos are prerecorded, so you can really work and work on your own time throughout the week. 00:34:18.445 --> 00:34:20.705 Now, again, there are weekly due dates. 00:34:21.325 --> 00:34:28.625 So as long as you're able to meet those weekly the weekly classwork, you can really learn anywhere anytime during that week. 00:34:29.165 --> 00:34:32.040 The majority of the work is paper writing. 00:34:32.500 --> 00:34:38.260 So I don't know how y'all feel about paper writing, but as an engineer, I had maybe one writing class in my life. 00:34:38.260 --> 00:34:40.360 But I made it through, so it is possible. 00:34:40.500 --> 00:34:40.980 K? 00:34:40.980 --> 00:34:44.680 There's a lot of student resources and writing resources for every student. 00:34:45.065 --> 00:34:48.525 There's 20 fourseven tutors, 20 fourseven librarians. 00:34:49.465 --> 00:34:55.405 I mean, you have the opportunity to really be supported here at DMU even if writing is not your strong suit. 00:34:56.345 --> 00:34:59.325 And again, that weekly individualized feedback from the professor. 00:34:59.430 --> 00:35:08.790 So we do do APA style writing, and that's part of the and that's just part of the psychology realm. 00:35:08.790 --> 00:35:10.470 Everyone writes APA style. 00:35:10.470 --> 00:35:11.270 But don't worry. 00:35:11.270 --> 00:35:14.010 There's plenty of time to get used to APA style writing. 00:35:16.095 --> 00:35:17.475 Substance abuse counseling. 00:35:17.615 --> 00:35:18.115 Okay. 00:35:18.175 --> 00:35:20.115 Thank you, Val, for that. 00:35:20.415 --> 00:35:23.635 And how many hours a week is good to invest in a good learning experience? 00:35:23.855 --> 00:35:25.315 Very good question, Carol. 00:35:25.455 --> 00:35:28.390 So, Michelle mentioned it earlier. 00:35:28.390 --> 00:35:30.950 There's two ways to complete the program, and she'll explain that. 00:35:30.950 --> 00:35:33.850 There's a sixteen month track and a twenty six month track. 00:35:34.070 --> 00:35:37.930 Basically, it equates to two classes at a time or one class at a time. 00:35:39.505 --> 00:35:48.465 So if you each class, I would say, averages about ten to fifteen hours a week, which was which was what I did. 00:35:48.465 --> 00:35:51.760 I only took one class at a time, and it was just right. 00:35:51.760 --> 00:35:52.960 I was a full time worker. 00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:57.460 And I don't know for those who have done ministry before, but it's not a nine to five job. 00:35:57.840 --> 00:36:00.560 It's more like weekends and evenings whenever you can meet people. 00:36:00.560 --> 00:36:07.995 So, just one class at a time was perfect for full time workers or if you have a family situation that requires more of your attention. 00:36:08.215 --> 00:36:15.275 But if you do have the ability to work, you know, two classes at a time, that's about thirty hours a week of work. 00:36:15.895 --> 00:36:19.115 You can finish in just sixteen months, which is just over a year. 00:36:20.390 --> 00:36:20.890 K. 00:36:21.350 --> 00:36:23.210 Hopefully, I answered your question, Carol. 00:36:24.950 --> 00:36:25.450 K. 00:36:26.550 --> 00:36:34.045 So if you are interested in the admissions process, Michelle will enlighten you on this. 00:36:35.145 --> 00:36:35.645 Alright. 00:36:35.785 --> 00:36:39.085 So let's start with a lot of these things are standard. 00:36:40.585 --> 00:36:44.845 Bachelor's degree, you need a bachelor's degree from an accredited university. 00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:49.900 Also, you must have a 2.5 GPA. 00:36:50.440 --> 00:36:51.800 Now that's standard. 00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:56.460 If you wanna be competitive, you want at least a 2.75 GPA. 00:36:57.240 --> 00:36:59.980 I'm gonna come back to the two letters of recommendation. 00:37:01.325 --> 00:37:01.645 Okay. 00:37:01.645 --> 00:37:03.265 And there's a reason for it. 00:37:03.325 --> 00:37:04.065 The resume. 00:37:05.085 --> 00:37:25.420 You need a good resume, and the written statement of intent is basically, a 500 word, a one page statement of how you came to this program, your intent with this pro with the master's degree, what you wanna do with it. 00:37:26.280 --> 00:37:26.840 You know what? 00:37:26.840 --> 00:37:28.940 Can you articulate that a little better? 00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:33.775 It's just I don't wanna miss mislead with that. 00:37:34.235 --> 00:37:35.435 So think about it this way. 00:37:35.435 --> 00:37:38.895 Your personal statement is your best time to show who you are. 00:37:39.195 --> 00:37:39.715 So Yeah. 00:37:39.915 --> 00:37:46.895 Write about a page, half a page to a page about who you are, what you're looking at, and what you intend to do with the program. 00:37:47.870 --> 00:37:53.490 Kind of like it's akin to the cover sheet on a resume. 00:37:53.790 --> 00:37:54.030 Oh. 00:37:54.030 --> 00:37:54.430 You know?

00:40:13.190 --> 00:40:14.170 Probably not. 00:40:14.630 --> 00:40:15.930 I think it's pretty standard. 00:40:16.390 --> 00:40:23.095 It's kind of just, like, five things, like transcripts, resume, personal statement, and two recommenders. 00:40:23.395 --> 00:40:28.355 So not a lot of admissions, process. 00:40:28.355 --> 00:40:30.835 So you can actually get this done in a week or two. 00:40:30.835 --> 00:40:36.530 Transcripts now can be sent via email, which can be which they can send it over to us in an hour. 00:40:36.530 --> 00:40:37.430 Very easy. 00:40:37.890 --> 00:40:38.390 K?

00:41:17.400 --> 00:41:17.900 Mhmm. 00:41:19.585 --> 00:41:20.865 And you're sorry. 00:41:20.865 --> 00:41:27.425 I forgot to mention the mandatory, virtual orientation, which would be fun. 00:41:27.425 --> 00:41:28.805 I would think that's fun. 00:41:29.585 --> 00:41:32.565 It's nice to meet other other people, honestly. 00:41:32.705 --> 00:41:34.750 So Alright. 00:41:35.050 --> 00:41:38.590 And so here's what everybody really wants to get to, the nitty gritty. 00:41:38.890 --> 00:41:40.110 So is it affordable?

00:43:19.175 --> 00:43:26.770 We are a Yellow Ribbon School, and we do, support, VA VA benefits. 00:43:28.670 --> 00:43:31.170 I think did I catch it all? 00:43:31.790 --> 00:43:32.430 I do know. 00:43:32.430 --> 00:43:35.385 There are a lot of financial aid. 00:43:35.385 --> 00:43:44.285 When you go through your process, you'll have a one on one meeting with the financial aid department representative, and they'll walk you through this as well. 00:43:45.465 --> 00:43:55.890 There is a place I don't know if you've seen on the Internet on on the website, and it has a net the the net, calculator. 00:43:56.190 --> 00:44:02.290 So you can actually see what your costs would kind of estimate at just to help you. 00:44:03.155 --> 00:44:05.575 Oh, thank you for putting that in there, Charice. 00:44:05.795 --> 00:44:06.295 Yeah. 00:44:07.075 --> 00:44:09.395 Val said, I belong to the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. 00:44:09.395 --> 00:44:11.015 I'm interested in knowing more information. 00:44:11.635 --> 00:44:12.135 Perfect. 00:44:13.315 --> 00:44:22.140 So one of the things that I actually encourage everyone to do if you are part of a diocese is to actually check the diocese diocesan website for financial aid. 00:44:22.140 --> 00:44:27.760 Like, some people won't even know that a website exists for their diocese, but most diocese already have a website. 00:44:28.220 --> 00:44:32.480 Look up look, what nonprofits there are, what's in your area. 00:44:33.715 --> 00:44:35.315 Definitely look at that look that up. 00:44:35.315 --> 00:44:42.775 Now the cash plans, I think, was a really great draw because you are you have to pay your tuition for each semester. 00:44:43.395 --> 00:44:43.895 Mhmm. 00:44:44.035 --> 00:44:49.210 So if you have a spring, summer, and fall, you pay before the the semester starts. 00:44:49.210 --> 00:44:54.510 But you can actually set up a cash plan where it's more divvied up every month. 00:44:55.210 --> 00:45:05.365 So if you're in the spring, you can take two to three months to pay back that that tuition interest free through DMU, which I think is really, really wonderful, really helpful. 00:45:05.365 --> 00:45:07.065 Didn't hit the wallet quite as hard. 00:45:07.205 --> 00:45:10.905 So definitely something to to sign up for. 00:45:15.010 --> 00:45:15.510 Okay. 00:45:16.450 --> 00:45:20.150 So here is the nitty gritty, the tuition and the fees. 00:45:22.290 --> 00:45:27.025 Basically, you are looking at a thirty three credit hour, class. 00:45:27.025 --> 00:45:29.685 So it consists of 11 courses. 00:45:30.545 --> 00:45:45.010 Your tuition, the entirety of that is part of that is a technology fee that's tacked on, per class, and, that covers things like online platform access and tech support. 00:45:46.430 --> 00:45:48.430 We also have the residency fee. 00:45:48.430 --> 00:45:48.750 Yes. 00:45:48.750 --> 00:45:49.730 You have a residency. 00:45:50.430 --> 00:45:55.125 It is during the seventh week of your of your program. 00:45:56.145 --> 00:45:57.825 It's a Friday and Saturday. 00:45:57.825 --> 00:46:01.925 It's just two days, and it's pretty much the entire day. 00:46:01.985 --> 00:46:06.885 And you'll get more information on that, but I've heard it's it's wonderful. 00:46:07.185 --> 00:46:09.925 I actually want to sit in on one of these. 00:46:11.160 --> 00:46:19.740 You get to meet with your, your your group of people, your your class, and also your professors. 00:46:19.880 --> 00:46:22.700 So, it's a really lovely time. 00:46:23.205 --> 00:46:25.285 And, so there's the residency fee. 00:46:25.285 --> 00:46:26.825 Did I miss anything, Charice? 00:46:29.285 --> 00:46:29.785 Yeah. 00:46:30.085 --> 00:46:30.585 No. 00:46:31.205 --> 00:46:32.165 You did a great job. 00:46:32.165 --> 00:46:35.325 We'll talk about the sixteen month versus Yeah. 00:46:35.445 --> 00:46:39.380 The twenty six month because there is a difference with that. 00:46:39.520 --> 00:46:40.020 Mhmm. 00:46:40.160 --> 00:46:42.720 And 876 per credit. 00:46:42.720 --> 00:46:53.315 Now I know that the the amount looks scary here, but DMU actually does does a really good job in trying to find a scholarship and a or a grant for every student. 00:46:53.455 --> 00:46:58.835 Now this is, like, the most anyone will ever pay, but no one actually ever pays this huge amount. 00:46:59.135 --> 00:47:08.350 Again, we have that financial aid representative that will reach out to you in the process of your admissions that will work with you one on one to find the best financial plan. 00:47:08.350 --> 00:47:12.030 And think about it as well as divvy it up per month. 00:47:12.030 --> 00:47:17.170 Like, divide it by the number of months that you want to do, either the sixteen month or the twenty six month. 00:47:17.465 --> 00:47:17.965 Right? 00:47:18.345 --> 00:47:21.485 So you don't even have to pay all this out, of course, out of pocket. 00:47:21.865 --> 00:47:27.465 Honestly, what I did was I did a third scholarship, a third out of pocket, and a third student loans. 00:47:27.465 --> 00:47:32.525 I only I came out with, I think, 8,000 in student loans, which actually wasn't bad. 00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:33.360 Right? 00:47:33.360 --> 00:47:35.620 So think about it more long term. 00:47:35.680 --> 00:47:43.380 Think about something that you can, you know, give up just a couple day a couple days a week, and that money does add up fairly quickly. 00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:49.795 So, again, we will have a financial aid representative that will help you find the best financial plan for you. 00:47:51.855 --> 00:47:52.255 Alright. 00:47:52.255 --> 00:47:56.035 Now Charice already mentioned this, the two tracks that we have available. 00:47:57.080 --> 00:48:03.020 I refer to them as the speedy race course and then the scenic route. 00:48:03.480 --> 00:48:11.765 So the sixteen month, if you think about it, just over a year, you could be finished with your your degree and get on with things. 00:48:13.905 --> 00:48:19.365 The other bonus to that is that your your tuition is, reduced. 00:48:19.585 --> 00:48:20.805 So you can see there. 00:48:20.865 --> 00:48:22.165 You get a slight reduction. 00:48:23.185 --> 00:48:29.990 The twenty six month, again, either one of these, whichever one you're looking at. 00:48:29.990 --> 00:48:35.770 It just depends on how much time you can devote to your schoolwork and your classes. 00:48:36.310 --> 00:48:37.830 And that's totally up to you. 00:48:37.830 --> 00:48:51.645 If you wanna take your time and take one class at a time and savor savor that and let it marinate and you do the twenty six month, and you'd be finished in just over two years. 00:48:51.785 --> 00:49:00.060 So, that really is based on how you how much time you wanna devote to your classes. 00:49:02.120 --> 00:49:03.020 Right, Charice? 00:49:04.040 --> 00:49:04.540 Yes. 00:49:08.615 --> 00:49:09.655 Oh, me again. 00:49:09.655 --> 00:49:10.315 I'm sorry. 00:49:11.015 --> 00:49:11.515 Yeah. 00:49:11.975 --> 00:49:13.835 Oh, she's springing them on me here. 00:49:14.535 --> 00:49:15.175 You can do that. 00:49:15.175 --> 00:49:15.675 Alright. 00:49:15.735 --> 00:49:28.530 So, basically, we want you to be able to look at these four questions and, really kind of assess, you know, where you are and and how you're feeling. 00:49:30.350 --> 00:49:36.130 You know, if you can answer honestly yes to each one of these, then why not move forward? 00:49:36.190 --> 00:49:43.865 Why not, you know, make this your New Year's resolution or, you know, just to get into it? 00:49:45.925 --> 00:49:55.810 Honestly, you would wanna ask yourself, like, how's it gonna feel when you finish? 00:49:55.870 --> 00:49:56.610 You know? 00:49:57.550 --> 00:50:03.090 When you have this degree and you have this goal in your mind and you know? 00:50:03.150 --> 00:50:05.790 I think Charisse can say it better. 00:50:05.790 --> 00:50:06.530 I'm sorry. 00:50:08.025 --> 00:50:08.525 Yeah. 00:50:08.745 --> 00:50:09.485 No problem. 00:50:10.425 --> 00:50:16.905 Honestly, the whole point of the master's in psychology program is that you discern really if this is the bright the right path for you. 00:50:16.905 --> 00:50:21.565 And then these are four questions that can help you discern whether or not this is the right program for you. 00:50:21.625 --> 00:50:23.485 Will it help you attain your goals? 00:50:23.600 --> 00:50:24.480 Think about your future. 00:50:24.480 --> 00:50:28.160 What do you what are you thinking about one, two, three years from now? 00:50:28.160 --> 00:50:29.860 What do you see yourself doing? 00:50:29.920 --> 00:50:35.060 Do you see yourself doing and going to another career path, helping people in a different way? 00:50:35.120 --> 00:50:37.085 Like, this is a really great program for that. 00:50:37.085 --> 00:50:40.785 Remember how applicable and diverse and flexible this program is. 00:50:41.005 --> 00:50:42.465 Does it fit your schedule? 00:50:42.685 --> 00:50:43.085 Right? 00:50:43.085 --> 00:50:50.305 It is fairly flexible, but are you willing to devote the time to complete the paper the paper writing, the quizzes? 00:50:51.110 --> 00:50:52.410 Really think about that. 00:50:53.350 --> 00:50:55.050 Do the financial options help? 00:50:55.110 --> 00:50:57.430 I mean, we are also here to help you on the side. 00:50:57.430 --> 00:51:02.650 If you have any other questions about financial aid, you can always talk to me or me or Michelle. 00:51:03.645 --> 00:51:12.625 I'm happy to help you out with that because, again, we do try our best to find a scholarship or a grant for every student, some kind of tuition assistance. 00:51:12.685 --> 00:51:16.125 So we will we can answer more about that later. 00:51:16.125 --> 00:51:20.390 And, really, can you commit to the successful completion of the program if if accepted? 00:51:20.770 --> 00:51:23.190 We do want you to complete the program. 00:51:23.330 --> 00:51:23.650 Right? 00:51:23.650 --> 00:51:25.430 And we don't want to see you struggle. 00:51:25.570 --> 00:51:32.385 We do have disability services, writing resources, student services that will help you and assist you throughout your program. 00:51:32.385 --> 00:51:33.425 You can always ask them. 00:51:33.425 --> 00:51:33.665 Yes. 00:51:33.665 --> 00:51:37.205 We do have accommodations for those who request it. 00:51:37.665 --> 00:51:44.530 So we just have all these options in our program, though I think everyone can can really benefit from that. 00:51:45.390 --> 00:51:45.890 K? 00:51:48.350 --> 00:51:53.970 That being said, are there any other questions while I'm here while we're here? 00:51:54.245 --> 00:52:00.185 It was asked about, Amelia was asking about the LPC certification. 00:52:01.205 --> 00:52:01.685 Okay. 00:52:01.685 --> 00:52:06.665 The LPC certification, you cannot complete an LPC certification in sixteen months. 00:52:06.725 --> 00:52:12.450 An LPC certification requires sixty graduate plus hours as well as seven hundred clinical hours. 00:52:12.750 --> 00:52:18.530 Our program only offers, you know, half of half of those courses, so this is not one for licensure. 00:52:19.390 --> 00:52:23.410 This is really for those who want to help people outside of the clinical realm. 00:52:24.895 --> 00:52:31.315 If you're looking for an LPC program, you're gonna look I highly recommend you find a CACREP accredited program. 00:52:31.535 --> 00:52:33.555 Well, we do have one here at DMU. 00:52:33.615 --> 00:52:37.155 We have a master's in counseling program if you wanna be a counselor. 00:52:37.695 --> 00:52:46.420 It is, we can forward your information happily to the other admissions adviser that does the master's in counseling program. 00:52:46.960 --> 00:52:55.465 So if you are outside of The US, however, we have had students that use this program to become a counselor in that in another country. 00:52:55.925 --> 00:53:09.120 So The US is fairly strict on who can become a therapist, who can become a counselor, but we've had other students in in Africa, in Asia complete this program and become counselors in their country. 00:53:09.900 --> 00:53:11.740 We just don't offer the practicum part. 00:53:11.740 --> 00:53:12.220 Think about it. 00:53:12.220 --> 00:53:16.640 We are 100% online, so it's just not practical in that way. 00:53:19.435 --> 00:53:21.215 Any other questions while we're here?
