In addition to the core graduate courses in psychology, the MAP degree offers focus areas in Health & Wellness and Science & Theories.
Cost consists of program tuition (cost per credit times number of credits) as well as any applicable University and degree-specific fees.
The mission of the MAP program is to provide students a foundation in the study of human behavior and skills for working with people.
You’ll engage and interact with other students through collaborative and cooperative coursework, social activities, and graduate student associations. Relationships with students and faculty often continue long after the program ends and can become vital resources for your career.
Chatham’s flexibility and diversity were perfect as a launching pad for my professional development. I was exposed to nearly every perspective and theoretical orientation through my work with faculty and other students. I chose this program to help me get into my doctoral program and could not have felt more prepared when it came time to take the next step.

Chatham’s MAP students have a strong interest in the study of human behavior, but are not focused on becoming master's-level professional counselors. They are a diverse group in terms of race, gender, ethnicity, and income level. Students come from a variety of backgrounds, including athletic coaching, student affairs work, business, and pre-medical study.
Graduates have gone on to doctoral study at Penn State University, University of Iowa, Virginia Tech University, West Virginia University, and more.
Students have opportunities to engage in a broad array of faculty-led research, from investigating counseling modalities to exploring issues related to diversity and identity.
