Overview

The Forensic Psychology M.A. program at Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU) is designed to offer students the maximum possible exposure to the broad field of forensic psychology, while at the same time streamlining a curriculum that allows students to graduate in 1.5 years. The primary objectives of the degree are to provide a functional terminal degree for students who wish to prepare for master’s-level forensic jobs (e.g., in juvenile /adult courts, correctional settings, law enforcement, research departments, & forensic psychiatric settings), and provide a springboard for students interested in pursuing advanced graduate training in forensic psychology. Students complete coursework covering various areas of clinical and forensic psychology. In addition, students gain invaluable clinical experience through the completion of a 300-hour externship placement and have the option to participate in forensic research. Students are required to complete a 300-hour clinical placement. Students have completed externships at a range of forensic and clinical sites, including prisons/jails, law enforcement settings, courts, psychiatric and forensic hospitals, outpatient treatment programs, private practices, and more. Students must complete and pass a background check prior to any externship placement, and obtain liability insurance; the cost associated with the background check and liability insurance must be covered by the student.
