A career in social services often requires an advanced degree - an education that must fit within the commitments of both work and family. Understanding the needs of the working professional, Medaille College's School of Adult and Graduate Education (SAGE) offers a Master of Arts in Psychology where classes are fully online or on campus in Amherst, so you can work and earn a degree.

Designed specifically for the working adult looking to advance or gain entrance into a career in human services, Medaille's MA in Psychology program provides you an opportunity to explore several sub fields of psychology while gaining advanced training in each of the core areas of study. You'll take coursework in evolutionary psychology, biological bases of human behavior, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology and psychopathologies, helping you understand the theoretical and scientific underpinnings of psychology while developing the writing, critical thinking and analytical skills necessary for a successful career in psychology or doctoral program.
