Develop your own philosophy.

Active exchanges with faculty-practitioners stimulate your thinking as you examine the role of the mental health practitioner in the larger context of society and the global village. This environment fosters professional and personal growth and inspires your thinking as you develop a personal philosophy of psychological, social, and cultural change.

Practice in the community.

Antioch University New England's fundamental belief in practical learning is reflected in all Department of Applied Psychology programs. You practice and apply what you learn in practica and internships that are close to home and rooted in community service.

Learn from experienced mental health counselors.

Not only do your faculty teach, but they also practice outside the classroom. Because they work in the field and are active in regional and national organizations, they integrate standards of care and changes in the field into Applied Psychology program curricula.
