Our mission is to create a student-centered, world-class educational system that focuses on offering quality, market-relevant programs to lifelong learners.
Since 1971, National University has been dedicated to meeting the needs of hard-working adults by providing accessible, affordable, and achievable higher education opportunities. Founded by retired U.S. Navy Capt. David Chigos, we now educate to grow and change, but our commitment to our values remains constant. National University’s values include:
Quality: Provide an exceptional student experience, from initial contact to degree completion and engagement as alumni.
Innovation: Cultivate innovation and invest in the latest developments that will have a positive impact on our students
Collaboration: Create cooperative work relationships, enabling us to develop the best services, learning solutions, and academic pathways for our students.
Diversity: Embrace differences in race, gender, age, ability, and geography as a part of our academic fabric and appreciate those differences as drivers of change.
Access: Offer Flexible, convenient, and affordable courses and programs for any qualified and motivated lifelong learner.
The Master of Arts (MA) program enables students to pursue advanced study in psychology that can lead to careers in the helping professions, industry, government, and nonprofit organizations. The program also provides students with the foundational knowledge and skills necessary for doctoral-level study. There are two specializations within the MA program, the General Psychology specialization, and the Gender and Sexual Fluidity specialization.
The General Psychology specialization exposes students to foundational courses in psychology such as Motivation and Emotion, Ethics, Cognition and Emotion, Theories of Personality, and Research Design. In addition to these foundational courses, students are given the ability to select elective courses from a broad range of topics, to fit their personal and professional goals. This flexibility in course selection allows for a degree program of study that meets your interests.
