American Studies FACULTY } Our distinguished faculty are trained specifically in the discipline. Most have earned their Ph.D.s in American studies and all have worked extensively in the field as scholars, teachers, curators or creative artists. Our time and effort as teaching faculty are focused on American studies students. At the same time, we enjoy productive and cordial relations with our colleagues in other departments who teach and conduct research in related fields. Students may take carefully selected courses in those departments, as students in other departments do in American studies. We do not claim to study and teach everything in our huge field. The faculty is especially strong in several areas, including transnational American studies, visual culture and material culture studies, African-American literature, Southern history and culture, intellectual history, environmental history, museum studies, urban studies and postwar American culture. These specialties do not exhaust the range of faculty competence, but they give an idea of the unique character of this interdisciplinary field as practiced at Saint Louis University.

OVERVIEW } The Center for Advanced Dental Education (CADE) at Saint Louis University offers a two-year program in the specialty of endodontics leading to a Master of Science in dentistry degree and a certificate in endodontics. This program is offered in close affiliation with the Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine. The program requirements are conducted at both SLU and SIU. The program offers clinical, didactic and research training on the graduate level in the specialty of endodontics. The 24-month program starts around July 1 each year and is fully accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association. Following completion of the program, graduates are educationally qualified for certification by the American Board of Endodontics. Admission to this program implies certain expectations and obligations on the part of the student, as well as the faculty. The faculty and administration pledge to provide the student with appropriate opportunities and facilities for learning. In order to be awarded a master’s degree, the student must complete the program requirements and be in compliance with the policies and procedures of both universities. Upon completion of an original research project, a successful thesis defense is required. These minimum requirements may be supplemented by additional program criteria, and there may be some flexibility in elective coursework, according to the student’s interests and educational objectives. It is the obligation of the faculty to attest to the student’s competency prior to the awarding of any degree. Therefore, in some circumstances, special requirements may be made in addition to, or in place of, the standard program requirements. Applicants for the endodontic residency must present satisfactory evidence that they meet the eligibility requirements for the Illinois dental license or Illinois restricted faculty license. The deadline for completing the online application and submitting all supporting documents is July 15 for admission into the program the following July.

OVERVIEW } The graduate program in engineering at Saint Louis University's Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology provides students with the depth of knowledge necessary to pursue advanced academic or industrial work in a modern, ever-changing world. Students learn enhanced analytical skills through an in-depth understanding of major theoretical and practical concepts, written and oral communication skills as applied to technical areas, and the critical and creative thinking skills required to conduct state-of-the-art research. Parks College offers several graduate engineering programs: • Aerospace engineering • Biomedical engineering • Civil engineering • Computer engineering • Electrical engineering • Mechanical engineering M.S.: The Master of Science degree requires a minimum of 30 credit hours beyond a bachelor's degree. For students pursuing the research option, six of the total credit hours must be in thesis research. For students pursuing the project option, three of the total credit hours must be devoted to carrying out a project. Up to 12 credit hours may be transfer credits. Each graduate student is expected to maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0. A lower GPA may result in probationary status and/or dismissal from the program due to unsatisfactory academic performance. Lastly, all graduate students are required to enroll each semester until a degree is received. Each master's student prepares a program of study that must be approved by their faculty advisor, the department chair and the graduate programs director for Parks College. This program of study is developed within the context of the student's background and career goals, allowing students to customize their graduate program to suit their professional goals. Ph.D.: The doctorate in engineering requires a total of 60 credit hours beyond a bachelor's degree with a minimum of 36 credit hours of coursework and a minimum of 12 credit hours of dissertation research. Of the 60 credit hours, only a limited number may be comprised of coursework at the 4000-level; all other course credits must be at the 5000 or 6000 level. Those students who earn a Master of Science degree may include the associated M.S. degree coursework credits — but not the thesis or project credits — in the 60 credit hours that are needed for the Ph.D. degree.

English Saint Louis University is a Catholic, Jesuit institution that values academic excellence, lifechanging research, compassionate health care, and a strong commitment to faith and service. Founded in 1818, the University fosters the intellectual and character development of nearly 14,000 students on two campuses in St. Louis, Missouri, and Madrid, Spain. Building on a legacy of nearly 200 years, Saint Louis University continues to move forward with an unwavering commitment to a higher purpose, a greater good.

OVERVIEW } Saint Louis University's graduate program in English provides students with scholarly training in English language and literature. Encountering courses that span the full experience of works in the English language — from Old Norse to Shakespeare to contemporary and postcolonial writing — students in the program have the chance to pursue specializations in a great variety of literary fields and in the study of rhetoric and composition. The department aims to provide graduate assistantships to all students entering the program. The typical assistantship affords two years of support for master's candidates and at least four years of support for doctoral candidates in the form of a nine-month stipend (currently $18,000), 18 credit hours of tuition remission annually and health insurance. M.A.: The nonthesis option for the Master of Arts degree requires 30 credit hours of coursework beyond the B.A. The thesis option, which is recommended for those interested in eventually pursuing a Ph.D., permits students to substitute a thesis for six of the 30 required credit hours of coursework. Both options are normally completed in two years. M.A. students planning to teach at Saint Louis University are required to take a class in the teaching of writing in their first semester, and all must take courses in the methods of literary research and critical theory; other coursework is elective. At the conclusion of their coursework, students pursuing the nonthesis option take a one-hour oral examination on works drawn from a list that is made available to them at the outset of their program. Students pursuing the thesis option select a topic in consultation with a director, have their completed thesis reviewed by a board consisting of the director and two other faculty members, and are then examined orally over both the thesis and the general M.A. reading list. Both the thesis and nonthesis options for the M.A. program are also offered at Saint Louis University's Madrid campus. Ph.D.: The doctoral degree requires a minimum of 24 credit hours of coursework beyond the M.A., followed by the doctoral competency exam, which has a written and an oral component. The written component takes the form of a competency essay, written over the course of seven days. During the oral exam, students will be asked questions about the competency essay, as well as texts on their preparatory reading list. Before taking their comprehensive exams, all Ph.D. candidates must display reading proficiency in one modern foreign language relevant to their research. Students concentrating in medieval or renaissance literature also need to demonstrate competence in either Latin or classical Greek. The current doctoral "tracks" among which the student selects are: • Anglo-Saxon and medieval literature • Medieval and early 16th-century British literature • Early modern British literature • The British long 19th century • 19th-century American literature • Modern Irish literature • 20th-century British literature and cultural contexts • 20th- and 21st-century American literature • Transatlantic modernisms • Contemporary postcolonial/non-Western literatures and cultures • Rhetoric and composition • Life writing

History Saint Louis University is a Catholic, Jesuit institution that values academic excellence, lifechanging research, compassionate health care, and a strong commitment to faith and service. Founded in 1818, the University fosters the intellectual and character development of nearly 14,000 students on two campuses in St. Louis, Missouri, and Madrid, Spain. Building on a legacy of nearly 200 years, Saint Louis University continues to move forward with an unwavering commitment to a higher purpose, a greater good.

OVERVIEW } The reputation of the history graduate program at Saint Louis University is based, above all, on the strength of the faculty, whose research and publications have won national and international recognition. This program familiarizes students with the richness of thought, culture and society of the past. By studying the history of civilization, students become acquainted with all fields in the humanities, as well as with developments in other disciplines, such as law, medicine, business and technology. M.A.: Upon admission to the program, students choose a specialized area of study in late Antiquity/Byzantium, medieval European, early modern European, modern European, U.S. or world history. They must complete 30 credit hours of coursework, including: • HIST 5000, Theory and Practice of History: An Introduction • 12 credit hours (minimum) in the primary field, which must include a “studies” course (HIST 5200/5300/5400/5500/5600/5700) and at least one seminar (HIST 6800/6810/6820/6830/6840) Students may choose a thesis or nonthesis option. If they choose the thesis option, six credit hours of thesis research will replace six credit hours of coursework. For both options, up to six credit hours of coursework may be taken in fields outside of history. Competency in one foreign language is required by the beginning of the second year of coursework. After completing their coursework, nonthesis students must pass a two-hour written examination and one-hour oral examination on their major field. Thesis students must complete their thesis and a one-hour oral defense of the thesis. There is also a combined M.A./Ph.D. track for those who enter the master’s program intending to continue on to doctoral studies. For these students an M.A. exam or thesis is unnecessary. Ph.D.: Doctoral students must complete 27 credit hours of coursework if entering with an M.A. and 36 credit hours of coursework if pursuing the combined M.A./Ph.D. Coursework must include a minimum of 12 credit hours in the major field and six hours in the minor field. Major doctoral fields are offered in medieval European, early modern European and U.S. history. Minor fields include these areas, as well as late Antiquity/Byzantium, modern European history, world history or a constructed field defined by the student with the approval of the director of graduate studies. The primary purpose of coursework is to prepare students for careers as scholars and teachers. After completing their coursework, candidates must pass a comprehensive examination, consisting of two four-hour written examinations — one each in the major and minor fields — and a two-hour oral examination. The culmination of a doctoral student's education is the completion of a doctoral dissertation. Twelve credit hours are given for the writing of the dissertation.

Ph.D.: Applicants must have a graduate degree in history.

For U.S. history students, competency in one foreign language is required. For medieval and early modern European history students, two languages are required, one of which must be Latin. It is understood that in all fields of study advisors can require additional languages if they are pertinent to the student’s research agenda. Recognition: The graduate program in history at Saint Louis University is one of the oldest in the country, granting its first Ph.D. in 1919. Today, the tradition of excellence is continued by training students in a variety of historical fields. The Ph.D. program ranks among the top 100 history programs in the nation according to U.S. News & World Report. Career Paths: Possible careers include congressional aide, foreign service officer, historic site director and university faculty.

APPLICATION DEADLINE } Ph.D.

OVERVIEW } The Integrated and Applied Sciences (IAS) doctoral program was established to broaden student exposure to all areas of science, encourage collaboration across departments and colleges, and better train graduate students to present their research to a more diverse audience. This interdisciplinary program is large enough to provide students with broad exposure to collaborative scientific projects, yet small enough for students to have one-on-one interaction with their faculty mentor. This personalized approach is necessary for developing the communication skills that will enhance employment opportunities for students and, in keeping with SLU's Jesuit tradition, endow them with tools to better contribute to society. This doctoral program trains scientists for careers in academia as well as chemical, biological, environmental and sustainability science industries and prepares them to collaborate with other professionals. Scientific training takes place in an interdisciplinary environment with faculty from science departments in the College of Arts and Sciences as well as from the Center for Sustainability. Concentrations include chemistry, biology, physics, environmental science and GIS, and sustainability science. The distribution of courses in the various IAS areas is determined by the student’s dissertation committee with a minimum total of 30 credit hours between all three areas. A total of 42 credit hours are required with the remaining 12 credit hours coming from dissertation credits. An appropriate coursework track is developed by the student and their mentor with subsequent approval by the IAS administrative committee. A typical coursework structure includes: • Participating departmental core courses (9–12 credit hours) • Interdisciplinary credits (18–21 credit hours) • Dissertation credits (12 credit hours) Assuming successful completion of oral and written comprehensive exams, students should complete the Ph.D. program in four to five years. Students entering the program with an appropriate M.S. degree may complete the program in less time, again assuming successful completion of oral and written comprehensive exams.

OVERVIEW } The department of molecular microbiology and immunology (MMI) offers a graduate program in molecular and cellular virology and immunology leading to a Ph.D. degree. The goal of the MMI graduate program is to graduate exceptionally well-trained researchers who are prepared for a career in academic science or biotechnology. Research in the MMI doctoral program is diversified. Areas of research emphasis include cell and molecular biology, virology and immunology. Graduate instruction in the MMI program includes: • Advanced coursework • Training in scientific writing and oral presentation skills • Training in teaching skills for students interested in an academic career • Performance of original biomedical research leading to scholarly publications and the Ph.D. dissertation Although each Ph.D. candidate will have a least one primary mentor within the MMI department, the responsibility for the education of each student ultimately lies with faculty of the MMI department as a whole. Students with a bachelor’s degree enroll in the MMI doctoral program following completion of the year-long basic biomedical sciences core program. This one-year program provides a strong foundation for subsequent specialization in microbiology and/or immunology and allows the student the opportunity to rotate through various laboratories in the Health Sciences Center before choosing a specific field of study. Students with a master’s or doctoral degree may be considered for direct entry into the MMI doctoral program. Students are also accepted into the MMI doctoral program through the Saint Louis University M.D./Ph.D. program. In all cases, students select a mentor within the MMI department with whom to conduct their dissertation research and are then formally accepted into the MMI doctoral program. The state-of-the-art research laboratories in the MMI department are located in the newly constructed Doisy Research Center together with other basic science departments in the Saint Louis University School of Medicine.

The clinical nurse leader is a fast-emerging role developed by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. The CNL provides leadership at the point of care that focuses on outcomes measurement, risk assessment, quality improvement, interprofessional communication and evidence-based practice. Doctor of Nursing Practice (D.N.P.): The D.N.P. degree is a practice-focused doctoral degree that educates nurses to become expert clinicians, leaders in health policy and catalysts for improved health care delivery within an interprofessional environment. This online program is available to students who possess a bachelor's degree in nursing (B.S.N. to D.N.P.) or a master's degree in an advanced practice area such as a nurse practitioner or clinical nurse specialist (M.S.N. to D.N.P.). Both provide sequencing of courses in a flexible manner. The courses are offered online in the spring and fall, with one course offered online in the summer session. The B.S.N. to D.N.P. requires a total of 68-70 credit hours beyond the B.S.N. depending on the population specialty focus. Students are prepared as nurse practitioners and can choose the educator option for an additional focus. The courses can be taken over a four- to five-year period dependent on full- or part-time study. The M.S.N. to D.N.P. requires a total of 28 credit hours beyond the M.S.N. Students may transfer five to six credit hours of comparable graduate-level coursework at the discretion of the School of Nursing.

OVERVIEW }

Deadlines for assistantships are listed online.

Occupational therapy is a health profession that employs everyday activities in the service of helping people to live healthy and satisfying lives. Services are provided to individuals who are at risk or who have disabling conditions or life circumstances that prevent full participation in the roles and activities that they value. Students in Saint Louis University’s department of occupational science and occupational therapy master's program apply their occupational science knowledge to supporting the health and quality of life of individuals throughout the lifespan, including those with disabilities and chronic illness.

DEGREES OFFERED }

The design of the occupational therapy curriculum at Saint Louis University is formed by the integration of the following four thematic areas: • Jesuit-based educational philosophy and goals, including the ultimate outcome of men and women in the service of others • Reasoning as the ultimate learning objective, resulting in practitioners who are independent and competent problem-solvers and seekers of knowledge • Occupation as a means and outcome of intervention • Development of a professional identity Curriculum themes progress through increasingly complex learning, from understanding to evaluation. Themes in each area combine with the curricular content and evolve into student learning outcomes to produce an educational curriculum that emphasizes compassionate and reflective approaches to achieving occupational performance/participation in the lives of the individuals our graduates serve. Occupational therapy graduates will engage in practice grounded in the understanding and application of the power of occupation to enhance the health and well-being of individuals, communities and societies. Master of Occupational Therapy The Master of Occupational Therapy program promotes individualized and small learning groups within the classes. Every student is paired with a faculty mentor and encouraged to seek guidance throughout the program. Along with this faculty partnership are opportunities for research projects that facilitate learning within faculty members’ scholarship. The program requires 66–72 credit hours for completion. Full-time students typically complete the program in one summer, three traditional semesters and two 12-week fieldwork experiences. Doctor of Occupational Therapy (New for Fall 2015) SLU is now offering an O.D.T. program for occupational therapy practitioners with a bachelor's or master's degree designed to prepare them for roles as academicians, advanced practitioners, policy makers, program evaluators and advocates of the profession. The program offers three areas of concentration: practice, education, and public policy and leadership.

The O.D.T. program follows a hybrid instructional model with online courses and four weekend residencies. This learning format is targeted towards working adult professionals who are seeking to develop or advance in their area of practice, leadership or educational specializations. Completing the program requires 42 credit hours for practitioners with a bachelor's degree and 30 credit hours for practitioners with a master's. Recognition The M.O.T. program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education and ranks in the top 25 percent of all occupational therapy graduate schools, according to U.S. News & World Report's 2012 rankings. Career Paths The majority of occupational therapists work in school systems or medical and long-term care facilities. However, there are many other areas of practice, such as behavioral health, ergonomics consulting, design and accessibility consulting and home modification, low vision, and private practice community health services.

OVERVIEW } The Master of Science in dentistry degree and certificate in orthodontics program at Saint Louis University’s Center for Advanced Dental Education (CADE) provides intensive instruction and training in the biological and clinical sciences related to the specialty of orthodontics. Orthodontics was created as a specialty of dentistry to address complex problems involving the growth and development of the facial structures and dentition. In this specialty, special emphasis is given to conditions that require tooth movement and alterations of the bones of the facial complex. Our program, which is one of the oldest orthodontic programs in the U.S., began training orthodontists in 1948. Since then, more than 700 students have studied and earned their degrees at Saint Louis University; the SLU orthodontic program has produced more orthodontists than any program in the world. Our alumni have compiled an excellent record of accomplishment by providing high-quality service to their patients, teaching, conducting research and providing service to the profession of dentistry and the specialty of orthodontics. The graduate program in orthodontics at CADE begins approximately the third week in June each year and continues for 30 consecutive months with graduation in December, with a 36-month option available for international students from specific countries. This well-rounded, balanced program trains students in clinical orthodontics, biomedical sciences and research discovery. Graduates are prepared to pursue careers as a clinician with a practice limited to orthodontics, a researcher or a teacher of orthodontics. Requirements for the master's degree include the successful completion of all coursework, satisfactory treatment of the assigned patients, acceptable performance on all didactic and clinical examinations, and the successful completion and defense of a thesis. The curriculum is designed to satisfy the requirements for licensure as a specialist and the specialty board in orthodontics as well as the Master of Science degree.

ADMISSION CRITERIA } D.D.S., D.M.D. or equivalent

Program Structure: Students in the program began with basic science instruction designed to provide fundamental knowledge of all aspects of the human system with a particular focus on growth, development and the biological aspects of tooth movement and alteration of bones. Following preliminary laboratory and classroom instruction, each resident initiates treatment on a large number of patients who present a broad array of dental malocclusions and skeletal deformities. Faculty introduce students to a variety of treatment philosophies, mechanics and appliances through lectures, seminars, laboratory exercises and demonstrations. In the clinic, students are exposed to a wide array of patient types, including children, adolescents and adults. Students are also exposed to cases with compromised oral health that require consideration of periodontal, restorative and temporomandibular joint treatment. As a result, many patients are treated by an interdisciplinary approach with other health care professionals. Throughout the clinical experience, each student receives a great deal of faculty attention. Students also receive training in research design and statistics and must conduct an original research project. This effort leads to the preparation and defense of a thesis and, subsequently, the production of a manuscript suitable for publication in a journal relating to the specialty of orthodontics. The experience of discovery provided by such research is an integral part of the graduate program, and we expect that the student will produce a meaningful contribution to the field of orthodontics.

OVERVIEW } The department of pathology offers a graduate doctoral program in molecular pathobiology — the cellular and biochemical study of disease. The faculty work closely with graduate students in the department to assist them in acquiring the requisite academic background and practical laboratory skills for successful research careers in academics, industry, medicine or government. Excellent research facilities for cellular and molecular studies in pathobiology are available in the department. Facilities include fluorescence and confocal microscopy, flow cytometry, tissue culture facilities, video image analysis, laser capture microdissection and an electron microscopy (EM) lab equipped with both scanning and transmission microscopes. Departmental faculty maintain research collaborations with colleagues in the academic and industrial community, which further broadens opportunities and exposure to technical skills and research expertise for graduate students. As both a basic science and clinical department, pathology faculty have diverse interests and expertise, from the bench to the bedside. The department stresses close interactions among students, their mentors and the graduate steering committee to foster their intellectual and scientific growth. All students interested in the Ph.D. program in pathology must enroll through the core graduate program in biomedical sciences. This one-year core program provides students with a strong basic foundation in biomedical sciences and allows them to rotate through various laboratories in the Medical Center before choosing a specific field of study. After the first year, students choose a mentor and specify a department for further work towards their Ph.D. degree. The Ph.D. degree requires 48 credit hours of coursework and 12 credit hours towards the successful completion and defense of an original research dissertation. Courses required for a Ph.D. degree in pathology include the core basic biomedical sciences coursework, which covers topics in biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology, pathology, genetics, pharmacology, microbiology, immunology and neurobiology; an introductory and advanced course in pathobiology; and research colloquia. Additional elective courses, which may be taken from other departments or from other universities in the area, are selected in collaboration with a departmental advisor to best suit the needs of students.

APPLICATION DEADLINE } Ph.D.

OVERVIEW } The goal of our training program is to prepare individuals for a research and teaching career in pharmacology and physiology. To this end, we strive to instill enthusiasm for discovery and the scientific process and to foster the development of critical thinking skills. Our comprehensive program is designed to develop laboratory research competence, including proficiency in quantitative methods of biology, physiology and pharmacology. We seek to graduate students with excellent oral and written communication skills by encouraging active participation in journal clubs, seminar series and teaching. Research training is offered with particular emphasis on cellular communication and disease exerted through the endocrine, cardiovascular and nervous systems as well as developmental biology. The broad objectives of the research programs are to: • Investigate the mechanisms and action of receptors and intracellular signal transduction systems at the cellular and molecular level. • Understand how various drugs perturb these systems at both the level of the cell and the level of the whole animal. • Discover and develop new chemical probes to investigate biological systems. • Gain a better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in disrupting cellular communications. Strict attention is given to the integration of advances made with simplified systems (genes, enzyme or receptor) into more complex systems (cell, organ and organism). This approach affords the development of an appreciation of drug action from an effect on a gene, receptor or enzyme to the therapeutic use of a drug to treat human disease. Students in good standing enter the graduate program in pharmacological and physiological science after completing one year in the core basic biomedical sciences program. In exceptional cases, students are directly admitted without completing the core curriculum. These students typically possess an advanced degree (i.e. Master of Science) and often have workplace experience. In August of each year, newly admitted students start a year of didactic training (20 credit hours) weighted towards advanced topics in pharmacology and physiology. All classes have morning schedules, leaving the afternoons and evenings free for research. These courses are followed first by a preliminary examination that takes the form of the specific aims and research strategies sections of an NIH R01 application, and then two to three years of graduate work devoted almost exclusively to research related to their dissertation project. Graduation follows successful completion of a written thesis, and public and private oral defenses. The average time to graduation with a Ph.D. in pharmacological and physiological science is about five years.

ADMISSION CRITERIA } Applicants should have a bachelor's degree with a background in biology, chemistry (general and organic; physical chemistry recommended, but not required), physics and mathematics (including calculus). Qualified candidates who are deficient in certain prerequisites may be admitted with the expectation that the deficiencies will be rectified while in residence.

There are five required courses covering pharmacology, physiology, statistics and bioinformatics. Students may elect to take additional courses in other departments at Saint Louis University, or cross register for courses at Washington University in St. Louis and the University of Missouri-St. Louis. An innovative feature of our training program is the teaching opportunities afforded our trainees. Foremost is the undergraduate course called Drugs We Use and Abuse. This is administered and taught entirely by our graduate students to about 75 undergraduate students at the main campus of Saint Louis University. The course consists of 35 lectures per year plus discussion sessions. Typically, each graduate student in our program is responsible for three or four lectures on a variety of subjects. If desired, these student-teachers may apply for evaluation by the Reinhart Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning to receive an independent review of their performance and receive advice on how to improve their teaching skills.

Psychology Saint Louis University is a Catholic, Jesuit institution that values academic excellence, lifechanging research, compassionate health care, and a strong commitment to faith and service. Founded in 1818, the University fosters the intellectual and character development of nearly 14,000 students on two campuses in St. Louis, Missouri, and Madrid, Spain. Building on a legacy of nearly 200 years, Saint Louis University continues to move forward with an unwavering commitment to a higher purpose, a greater good.

OVERVIEW } The department of psychology at Saint Louis University offers a nonterminal master's degree and doctoral programs in three areas: • Clinical psychology • Experimental psychology (with concentrations in developmental psychology, social psychology and cognitive neuroscience) • Industrial-organizational psychology The American Psychological Association has continually accredited the clinical psychology program since 1965. Questions related to the program's accreditation status should be directed to the American Psychological Association's Commission on Accreditation: Office of Program Consultation and Accreditation American Psychological Association 750 1st Street, NE, Washington, DC 20002 Phone: 202-336-5979 Email: apaaccred@apa.org Web: apa.org/ed/accreditation Clinical Psychology In its 2015 "Best Graduate Schools" edition, U.S. News & World Report ranked SLU's clinical psychology graduate education program in the top 100 of all graduate programs in the United States. This program trains students as scientist-practitioners to provide clinical and research services in academic or health care settings. The 36 credit hours required for the master's degree include 30 credit hours comprising the departmental and clinical core coursework and six credit hours of thesis research. Each student must complete and defend a thesis in accordance with graduate school requirements. Upon completion of the master's degree, doctoral students complete an additional 42 credit hours of coursework and 12 credit hours of dissertation research. Students conduct a public presentation and oral defense of the dissertation following completion of this research project. Finally, students must complete an APA-approved internship in clinical psychology prior to receiving their doctoral degree. Experimental Psychology Saint Louis University offers a multifaceted, full-time Ph.D. program in experimental psychology. Graduate students specialize their research in one of the concentration areas of cognitive neuroscience, developmental or social psychology and also receive broad instruction in each of these program areas. Each concentration integrates theory and research through rigorous coursework, research activities and professional experiences. To complete the program, the student must complete a minimum of 59 credit hours (or the equivalent for students who enroll with a master's degree in psychology, for which some credit hours may be transferred). Industrial-Organizational Psychology Specialty training in industrial-organizational psychology at Saint Louis University is based on the scientist-practitioner model. The program prepares doctoral-level professionals with the research, assessment and intervention skills to advance the scientific study of the workplace and improve organizational performance and individual well-being. The program requires that students complete a minimum of 68 credit hours (or the equivalent for students who enroll with a master's degree in industrial-organizational psychology). In addition to coursework and professional training activities, students must complete and successfully defend an empirical thesis and dissertation.

Theology and Historical Theology Saint Louis University is a Catholic, Jesuit institution that values academic excellence, lifechanging research, compassionate health care, and a strong commitment to faith and service. Founded in 1818, the University fosters the intellectual and character development of nearly 14,000 students on two campuses in St. Louis, Missouri, and Madrid, Spain. Building on a legacy of nearly 200 years, Saint Louis University continues to move forward with an unwavering commitment to a higher purpose, a greater good.

OVERVIEW } Saint Louis University's department of theological studies focuses primarily on the academic study of the Christian tradition in its historical and cultural contexts. In advancing the Catholic and Jesuit tradition of Saint Louis University, the department approaches revealed Christian truth with a special emphasis on its relation to human culture and the requirements of social justice. M.A. in Theology: The Master of Arts program offers two tracks: research and religious education. Students desiring to continue in doctoral work should choose the research track. Students seeking careers in schools, parishes, hospitals, nonprofit organizations or other religious institutions should choose the religious education track. The religious education track consists of a two-year program of study that includes 33 credit hours of coursework (including 200 credit hours of supervised internship) and comprehensive exams. The research track consists of a two-year program of study that includes 36 credit hours of coursework and a 50-70 page thesis, and students must demonstrate proficiency in one or two foreign languages. Students in the research track may choose to concentrate in constructive theology, historical theology or theological ethics. Ph.D. in Historical Theology: The Doctor of Philosophy in historical theology program is based upon the Catholic tradition and approaches theology from a historical perspective. This comprehensive way of examining theological issues takes a double thrust, namely studying the issues within their own context of time and place while also relating them to the broad developments within the tradition of Christian theology from the early church to the present day. The doctoral program has three areas of specialization: early Christianity, medieval Christianity and modern Christianity. Recognition: Thirty faculty have degrees from top universities in the U.S. and Europe (including Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Paris, Cambridge University, the University of Chicago, Notre Dame and Boston College). In the last five years, faculty members published 27 books, 56 articles, nine edited books and 30 book chapters. Many have won prestigious awards for teaching at SLU, research grants (NEH, Dumbarton Oaks, Humboldt, Mellon and the Wabash Center) and book awards (AAR, CTS, Alpha Signu Nu, Louisville Institute and the Catholic Press Association). Career Paths: Past graduates have gone on to pursue advanced study in theology at graduate schools across the country. Many work as high school teachers or ministers in schools or churches. In the St. Louis area, eight graduates teach religion in Catholic high schools and several are department chairs. Other graduates work in health care ethics, Christian publishing, social work and political advocacy.

OVERVIEW } Saint Louis University’s Master of Arts in women’s and gender studies provides an interdisciplinary education about contemporary social justice issues, preparing students for leadership and advocacy roles in community or academic settings. While gender is the primary focus, each course and the discipline as a whole examine gender in light of race, ethnicity, class, sexual identity, ability, age and religion. The discipline teaches students to think critically and to engage in the world as responsible citizens. The M.A. is a 30-hour program. Graduate work is designed to develop: 1) students’ ability to engage critically with multicultural feminist theories concerning social inequalities; 2) strong research and writing skills; and 3) knowledge and skills that enable communication with diverse audiences, coalition building for social action and development of initiatives for change.
