Course Information

The master of arts (MA) in applied educational psychology is an advanced degree program for practicing educators and other professionals working in educationally related services who are seeking to expand their knowledge, skills and professional effectiveness to improve the academic and social outcomes for school-aged children, adolescents and their families. The field of educational psychology provides a significant source of scientific insights into teaching, learning, motivation and maturation. Educational psychology coursework develops knowledge and skills in several areas including assessment of learning differences, developmental processes, recognition of human diversity, effective instruction, evidence-based decision-making, research and program evaluation, and technological applications.

Students in this program are encouraged to be self-reflective, to develop good communication skills and to work cooperatively with others. Graduates of applied educational psychology know how to identify learners' strengths and needs, to individualize instruction, to conduct research investigations, to facilitate creative problem-solving, to promote well-being and resilience, and to develop psychoeducational curricula and interventions to foster life competencies. In keeping with the mission of Webster University, MA students in applied educational psychology are encouraged to gain "international perspectives" and to develop "a lifelong desire to learn and a commitment to contribute actively to their communities and the world."

This program is not designed for individuals pursuing licensure in clinical psychology, counseling psychology or professional counseling.
