Description:	ADLER's Master of Psychology (MPsy) degree prepares students for professional practice in the fields of psychology and psychotherapy. The MPsy degree provides students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to prepare them to offer psychological and psychotherapeutic services in a variety of diagnostic, therapeutic, and assessment settings. ADLER'S MPSY-PTH stream is designed to fulfill educational requirements for registration as a "Registered Psychotherapist–Qualifying" with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) upon graduation. The MPSY-PTH requires undergraduate-level psychology preparation, and the CRPO accepts online courses at the graduate level. The MPSY-PTH blends the convenience of online learning, which can be done anywhere with internet access, with the effectiveness of in-person demonstration and feedback during intense three-to-five-day residencies three times per year. Mentoring and guidance are provided by qualified professionals throughout the year, as all courses are synchronous, meaning the instructor and students are present together during all scheduled course hours.
