The Master of Science (MS) in Psychopharmacology incorporates coursework and clinical practice to comprehensively train postdoctoral psychologists to prescribe medications independently, appropriately, effectively, and safely. It is a 32-credit-hour program with a practicum component requiring treatment of 100 patients. 



Upon successful completion of the program, students will have the education and experience to prescribe psychopharmacological medications consistent with state and federal laws, and work collaboratively with physicians, nurses, and other health care providers in order to coordinate care. This program is intended to prepare students for the Psychopharmacology Exam for Psychologists (PEP).
