WESTFIELD – The Division of Graduate and Continuing Education (DGCE) at Westfield State University will host two open houses: a master of science in accountancy open house on Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the Horace Mann Center and a graduate psychology and applied behavior analysis open house on Saturday, November 7, at 11 a.m. in the Loughman Living Room, located in Scanlon Hall.
Westfield State offers a 60-credit graduate program in psychology with specialized tracks in school guidance counseling, school adjustment counseling (non-licensure), or mental health counseling, with an optional concentration in forensic mental health counseling. Westfield State University also offers a 48-credit master of arts in applied behavior analysis program to individuals who work, or aspire to work, in a number of different settings, such as schools, including regular and special education classrooms, business and industry, healthcare, and other community-based settings.
At Westfield State, the objective of the accountancy graduate program is to prepare students for management positions in accounting. The program builds on the knowledge and tools from students’ undergraduate education, allowing them to achieve a greater degree of sophistication in accounting and auditing. The master of science allows the student to complete the additional 30-hours required to fulfill the requirements for the Certified Public Accountancy license in Massachusetts. The MSA program at Westfield offers classes Monday through Friday after 4 p.m.
Many graduate students have familial and career responsibilities that must be prioritized when it comes to furthering their education. Westfield State offers many accommodations, including late afternoon and evening courses and two summer sessions.
In addition to learning more about the programs and each concentration, prospective students will have the opportunity to speak with the program coordinator, advisors, and faculty. The DGCE will also speak to attendees about the application process. All individuals who attend either open house will have the $50 application fee waived.
