GRADUATE PROGRAMS

Psychology Programs:
Back

The School of Psychology of IGNATIUS UNIVERSITY offers five doctoral programs leading to the degree of Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) or Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in psychology: combined Clinical and Counseling Psychology (with pastoral counseling psychology option); combined Industrial and Organizational Psychology; combined Conflict Management and Mediation Psychology; combined Personality and Social Psychology; Political Psychology. Students may opt for either the Psy.D. or Ph.D. Requirements are the same including experimental research. Upon completion of the doctorate, a candidate may receive the second doctorate by defending a meta-analysis dissertation in the same field as the first doctorate. All programs detailed in the School of Psychology may also be pursued simultaneously but separately through Sofia University, Bulgaria.

In addition, the School offers a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) or Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in Mental Health Studies / Counseling (with pastoral counseling option). These fields include Mental Health Counseling, Marriage and Family Counseling and Art Therapy. In place is also the Doctor of Psychoanalysis (Psa.D.) or Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Psychoanalysis. The Ph.D., Ed.D., Psa.D., in this paragraph are not psychology degrees.The Master of Science in psychology is not a terminal degree but is awarded to all who are accepted into the Psy.D., Ph.D. program and complete all the requirements for the master's degree.

The psychology programs are designed to develop in psychologists strong theoretical background in psychology, an ability to transform theory into practice and the expertise to design and implement research.

The psychology programs are designed in such a way that on the master's level (first two years), the student takes a series of courses which are basic and necessary for any psychologist regardless of specialization. The remaining master's courses provide a survey of the field of specialization while the thesis enables the student to do a literature research of an area which may be an eventual topic for the student's own experimental research.

In the third and fourth years, there are intensive studies in statistics, research methods, and design, measurement and scaling as well as further courses in the area of specialization. The student is also engaged in the internship where the theoretical meets the practical. These experiences are designed to enhance awareness of the needs and problems encountered in various settings and to stimulate the student to think of research in these areas. In the fifth year, work on the dissertation commences.

Distance Learning Program with Part-time Doctoral Residence
Ignatius University allows its Graduate Program in the above five areas of psychology to be taught through a combination of Distance Learning and Doctoral Residential Learning. From the outset, the student should understand that Distance Learning is no less, and perhaps more demanding than the traditional classroom experience. The rigor of the Distance Learning far exceeds the demands of Residential Learning. Further, all Distance Learning courses in the School of Psychology entail "hands on" experience through the use of local resources in proximity to where the student resides.

Students in the psychology program are required to join the national psychological association in their own country and to attend each year its annual convention e.g. American Psychological Association in the United States.

The Graduate Psychology Program at Sofia University is independent and autonomous from any other outside institution. The regular faculty of Ignatius University conducts its own graduate program. The curriculum of IU and SU are the same. However, in order to consider the current and necessary trend toward globalization, additional adjunct faculty from all over the world are also involved.

The master's degree in psychology (69 credits which includes a 15 credit thesis) may be completed soley by Distance Learning. However, some psychology licensing boards require that some time be spent in residential learning. Depending upon the rigor of the licensing requirement, IU may not be able to accomodate all residential requirements.

In addition to a satisfactory, intensely supervised one year internship (12 credits) with a licensed psychologist for the Psy.D., or Ph.D., there is required a successful dissertation defense (12 credits) and a minimum 3.0 overall average in course work. Those in Ph.D., Ed.D in Mental Health have a one year internship supervised by a licensed mental health practitioner with doctorate.Students for the Ph.d, Ed.D. in Peace Studies have various practice supervised by those holding the doctorate in a related field.

An integral part of the program involves supervised field internships and practice. All students are expected to know the Code of Ethics of the American Psychological Association and to abide by it. All students are required to purchase American Psychological Association sponsored Professional Liability Insurance or the equivalent. This will provide coverage for the professional duties of a psychologist in training. This insurance information may be obtained through APA, Washington, D.C., USA.

Research topics for the dissertation may be selected through a review of the varied research interests of the faculty.

Mental Health / Counseling Studies: Mental Health Counselor, Marriage and Family Therapist, Creative Arts Therapist, Psychoanalyst
Back

The master and doctoral degrees in Mental Health / Counseling Studies are not psychology degrees.

For the doctoral degree in Mental Health / Counseling Studies, students with extensive post master's formal studies and experience, may be granted advanced standing in the doctoral program. A one year supervised internship is required.

Licensure/Certification and the like.
Back

IGNATIUS UNIVERSITY offers the student a standard, reputable and highly demanding course of studies in psychology and related fields, directed by an outstanding faculty and leading to master and doctoral degrees in the respective discipline. Based upon our research, our programs are modeled after the most rigorous and comprehensive programs being offered world-wide.

Since there are over 200 countries in the world with many having numerous different jurisdictions ( as many as 50, many without reciprocity within the same country) and all having different requirements which regulate the practice of the professions through licensure/certification and the like, it is impossible for Ignatius University to guarantee/contract/promise that any student, upon completion of these programs will be eligible to be licensed/certified etc. in that particular jurisdiction.

Accordingly, at the time of application, all students are required to sign and present an original notarized Disclaimer acknowledging that the above information is fully understood. (See, Graduate Studies, Application).

We advise the student to obtain the licensing requirements from his/her respective licensing board and to include in his/her graduate program the specific requirements demanded by the board. If there are additional requirements beyond our program, these may be added to our program and, where possible, they may be substituted as electives. The student is advised to request in writing from the respective board confirmation of licensure acceptability of the program to be undertaken.

CONFLICT MANAGEMENT PSYCHOLOGY AND MEDIATION PSYCHOLOGY
Back

The goal of the Conflict Management Psychology and Mediation Psychology program is to educate the student in the general discipline of psychology and to understand the psychological principles and models underlying both conflict management and mediation. In this program, these latter areas are placed within the matrix of psychology as distinguished from other similar programs which are not essentially psychological. Students are trained in the understanding and resolution of significant and persistent human conflicts among individuals, small groups, communities, ethnic groups, and nations. There is consideration to deep rooted conflicts and their resolution, underlying conditions bringing parties to the table; third parties in dispute resolution; testing of conflict intervention methods in community, national and international settings; in depth view of the mediation process. It should become obvious to the student that these areas are not sufficiently grasped without an understanding of certain models in social psychology, personality theory, psychological developmental process, psychopathology, and other psychological disciplines.

MENTAL HEALTH STUDIES : Mental Health Counseling. Marriage and Family Therapy. Creative Arts Therapy. Psychoanalysis.
Back

The goal of the Mental Health Studies : Mental Health Counseling, Marriage and Family Therapist, Creative Arts Therapy, Psychoanalysis programs is to provide the student with an overall view of the mental health field from a global perspective and specifically to train the student to make assessments of various emotional problems and to remediate them through various counseling skills. Under the Counseling Program, there are four separate programs, Mental Health Counseling, Marriage and Family Therapy, Creative Arts Therapy, and Psychoanalysis. The student is provided a wide range of treatment modalities and is given the option, in view of the Mission of the University, to include other techniques, e.g. pastoral and spiritual. The emphasis of this program is to prepare the student to practice in various counseling situations: specifically, individual, couple and group, with all age ranges and varying disorders in different settings. The program is so designed that the student, new to the field, may obtain significant expertise in the above skills at the master's level. It also provides a doctoral program for those completing the University master program and those entering with a master's degree from another institution. Those master-level seasoned clinicians with many years of experience, practice and significant post-master's continuing education may be admitted to advanced standing in the doctoral program. This is not a degree program in psychology but in counseling. For the dissertation, original experimental research is required for the Ph.D. and a literature study is required for the Ed.D., and Psa.D.
With the Ed.D.. and Psa.D., the student may use studies carried out by other researchers in writing the dissertations and specific cases treated by the clinician may become the springboard for the dissertation research.

Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in Mental Health Studies / Creative Arts Therapy_

This is the same format as above for Mental Health Counseling except all courses, seminars, Internship and Dissertation will concentrate on Creative Arts Therapy.

Master of Psychoanalysis (M.Psa.) in Mental Health Studies / Psychoanalysis

The M.Psa. is granted by Ignatius University to all students who complete the academic course work in the Psychoanalytic Program of International School for Mental Health Practitioners.

DOCTOR OF PSYCHOANALYSIS (Psa.D.) in Mental Health Studies / Psychoanalysis

Entrance A:Those with a master's in a non-mental health field. To enter this program, a student must have an accredited master's degree. It is recommended, but not required, that the student be a graduate of a chartered psychoanalytic program.

The doctorate is in the field of Philosophy of Psychoanalysis i.e the interface between philosophy and psychoanalysis or the integration of the clinical and theoretical in psychoanalysis. This exploration is of paramount importance at this stage of the profession of psychoanalysis.

Psychoanalysis came into being due to a particular Zeitgeist. To understand psychoanalysis, which is more than just a psychotherapy but rather a way of thinking and examining reality, it is necessary to have a proper philosophical background. The history of philosophy is a history of ideas which capture the feelings, accomplishment and defeats of a particular time .Philosophy is a reflection, summation and an encapsulation of history, literature, arts, religion, culture among myriad other forces of the particular time.

For psychoanalysis to advance and not remain static which is the equivalent of irrelevant, it is necessary to have scholars skilled not only in psychoanalytic treatment but in the philosophy of psychoanalysis. Our program provides an examination of various pertinent areas bearing on psychoanalysis (eight courses:applied ethics; epistemology; social philosophy; time and history; philosophy of culture; philosophy and intercultural relations; continental philosophy; philosophy of psychoanalysis ) all within the flow of an on going historical matrix from ancient to contemporary times.

Dissertation: The courses (8 x 3 credits = 24 credits) are designed so the student may be engaged in preliminary research in the area in which the dissertation will be written. With this background of an ongoing dialectic, the student is prepared to write a dissertation in which she/he may critically examine both the clinical and philosophical underpinnings of psychoanalysis. It is our expectation that from this research and experiential learning, ideas for the advancement of present psychoanalytic treatment may be made and new ideas for the future development and application of psychoanalysis in general.

12 credits are set for the Dissertation. A total minimum of 36 credits is required for the entire program.

Graduation: Upon completion of the required course work and satisfactory defense of the dissertation, the Doctor of Psychoanalysis (Psa.D) is awarded from Ignatius University and Doctor of Philosophy (D.Phil.) is granted by Sofia University.

See School of Philosophy: International School for Mental Health Practitioners.

B. Those with a master's in a mental health field

Those having all the above credentials for entry but have an accredited master's degree in a suitable mental health field, may petition to enter into the Advanced Program. This consists of 36 credits: Courses (12 credits) designed around the carrying out of extensive literature review, research methodology , statistics and empirical research under supervision for the writing and defense of the dissertation in psychoanalysis; Internship (12 credits); and Dissertation (12 credits).

Graduation: upon successful completion of the required course work, the Doctor of Psychoanalysis (Psa.D.)
is awarded by Ignatius University and the Doctor of Psychology (D.Psy) is granted by Sofia University.(These degrees are not intended for licensure or practice of psychology).
