Dear Prospective Graduate Psychology Applicant,

Welcome to the M.A. Psychology Program at Antioch University Santa Barbara. For over 25 years Antioch's accredited, graduate psychology programs have been helping students pursue their dreams of attaining a psychology degree so that they might help others as Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists.

Our programs excel in producing graduates who have the professional skills needed to practice psychology. Using an interactive, collaborative learning model, students acquire self awareness, an understanding of others, and a practical repertoire of clinical skills. Classes are taught by experienced faculty who work in our community nonprofits, schools or private practices. Faculty can bring rich clinical case examples from their practice settings to your classes.

I think you will find our small, dynamic learning environment both exciting and challenging. You will attend the program with a cohort of students and learn through the open exchange of ideas and experience within this small group. Many students feel a sense of connection to the members of their cohort and the faculty, connections that develop into professional and personal relationships lasting beyond the program. Our one-day-a-week delivery model is often mentioned by students as a convenient way to combine work and school.

Antioch graduates are working throughout the tri-county area or in other parts of the country. Graduates who become professionally licensed teach in our program or supervise current students in community sites. Ask around as I have, and I’m sure you will find that Antioch and its graduates have a good local reputation.

Please feel free to contact me or our Admissions Department if you have questions about whether Antioch’s MA Program is right for you.

Warm regards,

Catherine Radecki-Bush, Ph.D.
Chair, MA in Psychology Programs

The MAP program at Antioch is different from other graduate psychology programs within the community in part due to our unique training philosophy.

Clinical Training
A key component of the Master of Arts in Psychology program at Antioch is the Clinical Traineeship, which takes students outside of the classroom and brings them into the community.
