DonateCommunity Psychology Program
The Master of Science (M.S.) in Community Psychology program offers course work and training at an advanced level. The program emphasizes how psychological variables influence individual and group roles, norms, values, interactions, and mental health within a community or culture. The program also emphasizes reluctance to use available mental health care, as well as a lack of available health care in many communities. Training in Community Psychology helps the therapist (student) work effectively with underserved and diverse populations while showing a special sensitivity for the client's specific ethnic and cultural (community) needs.
The primary purpose of the Community Psychology program is to prepare students to achieve their personal and professional goals in applied mental health, in other professional areas that utilize psychologists, or in continuing their education by pursuing a Ph.D. in psychology or a related field. With a completed degree in Community Psychology, the student may be eligible to work for licensure as a mental health professional in Indiana.

Urban Ministry Studies
Martin University's Urban Ministry Studies program is an advanced educational initiative of both religious leaders and lay persons, and is open to all who seek to serve others holistically - physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. Therefore, while the program introduces students to traditional models of ministry, it also introduces students to non-traditional models of ministry rooted in such disciplines as sociology, business, education, and the health professions.
The primary purpose of the Urban Ministry Studies program is to help students achieve their personal and/or professional goals within a context of spiritual awareness. For those who want to serve in the Sacred and/or Secular Community, the program provides the necessary information and skills. For students who want to do advanced academic work, the Urban Ministry Studies program provides the necessary academic training. Whatever one's goals, the Master of Arts program can help students better understand spirituality, and its relationship with, and implications for, other facets of human life. Students are therefore encouraged in their studies to explore the many ways in which faith can be embodied in the lives of people, churches, synagogues/temples, and society.
