Forensics at Carlos Albizu University
Doctorate in Psychology (Psy.D.) with concentration in forensic psychology
If you're considering forensic psychology -- particularly forensic psychology at the doctoral level (Psy.D.), then Carlos Albizu's Miami program is one you should consider. Instead of just offering a smattering of courses in forensic psychology or forensic psychiatry, they actually offer concentrations in four different subjects. To do the concentration in forensic psychology, you'll have to complete five courses, covering forensic assessment, police and correctional psychology, family and juvenile law, criminal law and behavioral science and the lab. These 5 courses in forensic psychology, spanning 15 credits, complete the concentration.
Like many doctoral programs, Carlos Albizu allows you to apply for and be granted a masters in general psychology when you are part-way through your doctoral forensics training. Here it comes after 47 credits.
