Online Master's Degree in Military and Emergency Responder Psychology

First responders, emergency response personnel, law enforcement, and military service members face unique emotional and mental healthcare needs. The trauma and stress they experience in their daily operations require personnel specially trained to address and support them.

Earn your online master’s in Military and Emergency Responder Psychology, the first fully specialized master’s program of its kind in the country, to help address this growing demand and assist military and emergency responder populations through their specific needs.

Employment in this area is expected to grow 22 percent from 2018-2028, specifically for substance abuse, behavioral disorder, and mental health counselors (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics).

Learning Outcomes

This program is designed to provide you with an advanced understanding of the values, mindset, and occupational hazards that military and first responder personnel face on a daily basis. You’ll learn both the theory and application around psychotherapy, service delivery, ethics, assessment, and counseling for these individuals, as well as applying these skills in a variety of settings, including mental health clinics, employee assistance programs, and substance abuse treatment programs.

The Master’s in Military and Emergency Responder Psychology coursework is aligned with CACREP standards and will help prepare students to sit for the National Counselor Exam (NCE).
