Overview
The Human Services Psychology programme offered at University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) combines foundational core seminars in psychological science, advanced biostatistical methodologies, and specialized track research. Candidates specialize within three distinct tracks: Clinical Psychology, which focuses on empirical assessment, diagnosis, and evidence-based interventions for children, adults, and families; Behavioral Medicine, which investigates the bi-directional relationships between biological processes, behavioral functioning, and physical health; and Community Psychology, which examines social resources, human service policies, and environmental contexts that shape community well-being.
Key Facts: Scholars are encouraged to pursue cross-track sub-specialties—such as Clinical/Behavioral Medicine, Clinical/Community, or Child Clinical/Behavioral Medicine. Visit the programme website for more information
Primary research domains encompass bio-behavioral mechanisms in chronic illness, prevention policy in public mental health, cross-cultural health disparities, and evidence-based psychological interventions.
