Specializations<br />
Counseling psychology students may choose to enrich their studies<br />
by concentrating in a particular area. The program’s five<br />
specializations provide the clinical training necessary to meet<br />
present and anticipated needs in the community. Students develop<br />
a depth of special knowledge that may be a significant asset in<br />
acquiring a post-master’s internship or in developing future<br />
employment opportunities. Specializations are offered in addiction<br />
studies, child and adolescent therapy, couple and family therapy,<br />
expressive arts therapy, and sport psychology. All of the<br />
specializations are available at the Pleasant Hill Campus. All<br />
specializations except Sport Psychology and Addiction Studies are<br />
offered in Campbell.<br />
Students may pursue a special area of interest while completing the<br />
psychology core and MFT coursework by selecting course options<br />
within the specialization. In addition to the specialization<br />
coursework specified below, students must complete field<br />
experience and group supervision seminars in their area of<br />
specialization. At least three quarters of related field experience are<br />
required for the specialization. With careful course selection,<br />
students (in other than the sport specialization) may complete a 15<br />
unit specialization in 6 - 9 units beyond 87 units required for the<br />
Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology.<br />
Candidates for a specialization must discuss their intent with their<br />
academic advisor and submit a declaration of a Specialization<br />
form. Prior to graduation, students must file the Specialization<br />
Completion form. Both forms must be sub mitted to the Counseling<br />
Psychology program.<br />

required to have 15 units, six of which will substitute for core classes.<br />
