The American Psychological Association (APA) has extended accreditation to Capella University’s online Master of Science in Clinal Psychology, Clinical Counseling specialization. This is good news for working professionals across the country who are looking to advance their careers in psychology with a vetted online master’s degree.
President of Capella University Constance St. Germain said, “As an institution that serves students nationwide, we work hard to ensure that our courses are developed around nationally recognized standards. We’re honored to receive accreditation from the APA, providing assurance that we meet the standards for quality of faculty, curriculum and learner services.”

Once enrolled, students can expect to take online classes in psychology and counseling, including:
- Introduction to Psychological Testing
