Northcentral University's Master of Science in
Forensic Psychology program helps prepare
you to apply psychological principles in forensic
settings and equips you to work within the justice
system, with law enforcement, the courts,
corrections and departments of victim services.
During this program, you will be immersed in
the psychology of criminality through courses
that examine human behavior and its expression
in legal settings, explore diagnostic and
assessment tools in forensic settings, and design
and synthesize research related to judicial
systems and law enforcement.
In addition to acquiring knowledge through
coursework, students have the option to choose
a non-clinical internship course/project or a
research-driven capstone course/project. This
provides students with the option to either
explore practical applications in an internship
setting or engage in a research-driven capstone
project.
