The 21st century is changing almost every aspect of human endeavor, not only in terms of technology and communications, but also in terms of how organizations evolve, and how business can identify and target new opportunities in a global marketplace. To help you succeed in this brave new world, Touro is offering three new graduate programs, grounded in applied psychology, and featuring some of the leading scholar-practitioners in their field.

Media and Communications Psychology

Media and Communications Psychology is perhaps the most exciting new development in modern applied psychology, and TUW is among the first universities to offer a graduate degree in this discipline. We live in a rapidly changing global workplace where innovation and collaboration are central to success.

Media and Communications psychologists are uniquely positioned to assess and guide the impact of new digital media and communications on human behavior and human interaction. From digital television and motion pictures to Web-based social media and the exploding world of mobile telephony, this Master’s program will prepare you to play a crucial role in researching and harnessing the power of new media for virtually every aspect of modern human interaction.

Still others may choose to help with organizational interventions to solve organizational or leadership issues. As a student in this program you will develop a background that includes an understanding of key Organizational and Leadership Psychology principles and practices in such areas as leadership, organizational change, and organizational consulting.

Master of Business Administration

This degree will prepare you with important business and leadership skills. If your career aspirations include leadership with your current organization or in some other organization ? maybe even your own organization ? the MBA can help you reach such a goal. Additionally, this degree is designed to provide students with knowledge in key management areas such as Finance or Strategic Management. As a student in this program you will obtain a background in core aspects of management such as leadership and change management, financial principles, and organizational design. You will also be able to select among several concentrations which will give you greater depth in your chosen area. Finally, you will work with professionals, like yourself, on a capstone project that will bring together the team’s skill to analyze real management situations and create solutions for management challenges.

The Touro Tradition includes a considerable history in the health and behavioral sciences. The Touro MBA continues this tradition by not only providing you with a solid foundation in the “hard” skills of management, but also provides you with an understanding of how these skills integrate with recent understandings in the behavioral side of organizations. Hence, depending on your concentration in the program, part of your program would increase your knowledge of the behavioral aspects of, say, finance or strategic studies. This is part of Touro’s focus on providing you with more value.

Marriage and Family Therapy

Marriage and Family Therapists are professionals trained in the health and mental health arena who have a family-oriented point of view concerning health care. Becoming an MFT requires a bachelor’s degree, a master’s degree and a doctoral degree. MFT’s are in high demand and the demand is expected to continue growing.

Generally, applicants to a master’s in MFT have a bachelor’s degree in psychology. However, other prospective students will likely be considered on a case-by-case basis if they have completed some coursework in the field. A statement of purpose is required to round out the application; a letter of recommendation is optional.
