The program is open to students whose bachelor's degrees are in fields other than psychology
Depending upon previous course work, a total of 36 to 44 units is required to graduate
Up to six units from an accredited institution may be transferred into the program if equivalent courses were completed at the graduate level in the past seven years with a grade of "B" or better
A master's thesis is not required; however, most courses include a formal paper or project and a final examination
The program meets prerequisite requirements for application to the Doctor of Psychology program at Pepperdine University, although completion of the degree does not guarantee admission to the doctoral program
