A master's degree in psychology provides individuals a scientific understanding of the problems facing society today, problems such as substance abuse and addictions, violence, stress, poverty, teen dropout problems, abuse, and others. The state of Louisiana, having suffered through one of its worse hurricanes, Katrina, and now struggling through tough economic conditions, needs qualified individuals to help it solve its toughest human challenges.
The Annie E. Casey Foundation reports that between the years 2006 and 2007, 27% of Louisiana's children lived in poverty, and 12% lived in extreme poverty. Much of that poverty is due to high unemployment, and displaced families. Stress among individuals rises during these situations, and stress often leads to problematic behaviors.
Those with master's degrees desire to help children, adults, and families cope with life's pressing issues. A master's degree offers students the most up-to-date, empirically-based tools needed to impact the lives and families of Louisiana's residents.
Louisiana's employers first seek those with advanced degrees in psychology when hiring. In addition, those interested in pursuing a PhD receive excellent preparation through a master's program.
