In addition to departmental requirements, candidates for graduate degrees must fulfill University requirements described in the "Graduate Education" section of the UCSB General Catalog.
The Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology is issued to students enrolled in the CCSP doctoral program. Students are not admitted to a terminal Master's Program.
If you have successfully completed two years of full-time courses (with no incompletes) you may petition to add the Master's in Counseling Psychology. It is recommended that students petition to add the M.A. no later than May 15th of the spring quarter.
The M.A. will be awarded no sooner than the end of the student's second year in the Ph.D. program, following a review by CCSP faculty. The student's faculty advisor must approve the student's petition to add the M.A., and a committee consisting of the student's faculty advisor plus 2 additional CCSP faculty must sign this form upon completion of degree requirements, indicating the student's eligibility for the M.A.
Committee Approval
Note: Handwritten signatures are required. A committee consisting of the student's faculty advisor plus 2 additional CCSP faculty must sign this form indicating the student's eligibility for the M.A.
