Marymount University\u0092s Forensic & Legal Psychology master\u0092s degree program has been ranked second in the nation by the website learn.org<\/a>, which praised the school for its internships and access to professional opportunities in the nation\u0092s capital.<\/p>\n

\u0093In this program you’ll be introduced to such organizations as the FBI, the U.S. Department of Justice and the state juvenile justice department through observations, research activities and in-class lectures,\u0094 the website wrote.<\/p>\n

Marymount\u0092s program, one of about 20 in the U.S., balances traditional psychological knowledge and skills with a specialized understanding of the legal system, said Dr. Mary Lindahl<\/a>, professor and chair of the Department of Forensic & Legal Psychology.<\/p>\n

Graduates can work in intelligence analysis, counterterrorism, victim advocacy, law enforcement, public policy and other fields.<\/p>\n

The website noted that Marymount\u0092s required internships provide practical, hands-on experience.<\/p>\n

\u0093We have access to so many internships, and if you get the internship, you have a good chance of eventually getting a job with that organization,\u0094 Lindahl said.<\/p>\n

Marymount\u0092s forensic psychology program was the first of its kind in the Washington, D.C., area.\u00a0 Since its inception, a new concentration in intelligence studies has been added. Students can also earn a second degree in clinical mental health counseling.<\/p>\n

\u0093You’ll be able to pursue research opportunities while you earn your degree and can participate in the school’s chapter of Psi Chi, which is the national honor society in psychology, or the psychology club,\u0094 the website added.<\/p>\n

Lindahl said the field has grown rapidly. Marymount\u0092s program began in the fall of 1999 with seven students. Since then, 896 master degrees have been conferred. Around 85 students now are accepted each year. In 2014, about half were from Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia and the other half were from across the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
