New psychology degree at YSU

YOUNGSTOWN — Youngstown State University plans to offer a master’s degree in applied behavior science beginning next fall.

The university’s Board of Trustees has approved the plan, which now must also be approved by the Ohio Board of Regents.

That state approval is expected within the next few months, said Dr. Michael Clayton, assistant professor in YSU’s psychology department. The new major would fall under that department.

It will be a 42-credit-hour program that will include two full years of internships, Clayton told the trustees, adding that there is a great demand in the field of behavior analysis.
