What is a master's degree in clinical psychology?
Professional licensure and certification
ASU's academic programs that prepare you for professional licensure or certification are designed to meet Arizona's requirements. Arizona does not currently offer a license for master’s-level psychologists. However, faculty are working with the Arizona Licensing Board to establish a new license, and we expect an Arizona master’s-level psychology license to be in place by the time our first cohort graduates. Completing an ASU program may not fulfill educational requirements for licensure or certification in other states. For additional information, visit the professional licensure page.
State authorization
We strongly recommend you visit our state authorization page to learn how ASU is authorized to operate in your state, policies for out-of-state students and program exceptions.
Will my diploma say 'online'?
No, Arizona State University's diplomas don't specify whether you earn your degree online or in person. All diplomas and transcripts simply say "Arizona State University."
