The master of arts in international disaster psychology program trains highly competent and committed mental health professionals who go on to work—domestically and worldwide—with individuals and communities who are affected by traumatic events, acute and chronic civil conflict, natural disasters, and health-related pandemics. Students work directly with populations affected by trauma, train and consult with agencies, develop emergency preparedness and response plans, and monitor and evaluate psychosocial interventions.

Our program is recognized for Innovative Graduate Training by both the American Psychological Association and the National Council of Schools in Professional Psychology and is the first master’s degree program of its kind in the nation.
