  1. Thank you so much for your response on this! I was leaning towards research, but now I’m worried about whether PhD programs will take the school into consideration. The first one is at GWU and there have been graduates who went on for their PhD, but also some who got jobs in community organizations. The other program is University of New Haven and it’s a really small school and program so I’m worried about that Do you have any insight into how much PhD programs weigh where you went to school?
  2. I'm currently trying to decide between two Forensic Psychology graduate programs. One is a Forensic Psychology, M.A. program and the other is a Community Psychology M.A., with a Forensic Psychology concentration. The course load for the first program is very specific to Forensic Psychology, but they do not offer any research experience. Only externship experience and the program is double the price. The Community Psychology program doesn't offer many Forensic Psychology courses (4 required for the concentration), but they do offer both internship experience and the opportunity to do a thesis and get involved in research. I'm not positive about whether I'll do a PhD yet (I probably will - Forensic or Clinical) so I don't know if I would be better off getting involved in research. Anyone else pursing a graduate degree in Forensic Psychology -- Is it more beneficial to do a concentration in Forensics with the option to do research or a program that's specific to Forensics without research?
