Psychology Partnership Programs
|
|
The psychology department of Dominican University has partnerships with other programs that offer opportunities to enter health-related professions.
|
Occupational Therapy
In partnership with Rush University, students may participate in a program that leads to a master’s degree and certification in occupational therapy (OT). Students spend three years at Dominican University and two years at Rush University at the end of which they earn both a bachelor’s degree at Dominican University and a master’s degree in OT at Rush. In order to qualify for this early admission program students ordinarily must begin to prepare by taking appropriate coursework in their freshman year. This program requires separate application and admission to Rush University. For additional information, please refer to the Occupational Therapy - 3-2 Program section. Bridge Program
Psychology majors may take two classes in the Graduate School of Social Work at Dominican University during their senior year (SWK 513 and SWK 514). These courses count toward the psychology major and may be applied to the master’s degree in social work (MSW). Students desiring a career in social work and who wish to attend the Dominican University Graduate School of Social Work should apply for admission during their senior year of study. Successful completion of these courses does not guarantee admission to this graduate program. 5-Year BA/MSW
Psychology majors have the option of pursuing a track that leads to completion of a Master of Social Work degree in approximately one year after obtaining their Bachelor of Arts degree. . Acceptance into the Graduate School of Social Work is contingent upon completion of all undergraduate requirements in the major, and an overall grade point average of 3.25. Students who are interested in the 5-year BA/MSW should meet with the chair of the psychology department soon after they declare their major and before they achieve junior standing. |
