Proposed title of major: Forensic Psychology
1. PURPOSE AND NATURE OF PROGRAM:
A. Brief program description –
The Master of Science in Forensic Psychology program is proposed to be offered via ASU Online
/ EdPlus. Forensic Psychology, is a subfield of psychology that deals with the intersection of
psychology and the law. In common academic usage “Forensic Psychology” most typically refers
to the application of clinical psychology to the evaluation of individuals who are somehow
involved in a legal proceeding (for example, assessing the mental capacity of an individual who is
accused of a crime). This program is designed to provide working professionals with an
understanding of mental health issues and human behavior with respect to crime and the criminal
justice / legal system. To reach the widest audience, this program is designed to be entirely
online. It consists of 33 credits that can be taken in six 7.5-week terms (one calendar year). The
structure of the program involves taking two core methodology courses, three substantive
forensic-relevant psychology courses, three substantive forensic-relevant criminology courses,
and four electives chosen from a list of forensic-psychology-related courses offered in both
psychology, criminology, and social work. The substantive field of forensic psychology has a good
amount of overlap (history, methods, topics) with criminology, which is why our academic units
are partnered for this program.
Background / Context: The proposed degree stems from an initiative (http://lawpsych.asu.edu)
that brings together a number of faculty who have research and teaching interests in this area,
but who are housed in several different colleges and schools at ASU. As part of that initiative, we
also launched an undergraduate concentration in Forensic Psychology and a proposed PhD
program in Law and Psychology. This proposed degree program would complement those other
programs. Our overarching goal for these three proposals is to capitalize on our substantial
expertise and establish ASU as the leading university in this field. This proposal further involves
the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice and the School of Social Work who will be
contributing several courses in the curriculum.
B. Will concentrations be established under this degree program? Yes No
(Please provide additional concentration information in the operational appendix –
number 5A.)
2. PROGRAM NEED - Explain why the university should offer this program (include data and discussion
of the target audience and market).
This proposal builds on one of the major research strengths of the School of Social and Behavioral
Sciences / New College. Forensic Psychology is a very popular subfield of psychology (our classes
on these topics tend to fill extremely quickly), and there is a strong demand from both undergraduate
Request to implement a new degree program 10-16-13 Page 3 of 22
and graduate students for academic programs in this area, particularly at ASU, as we have a strong
reputation in the field.
Target Audience: Through this program we hope to reach working professionals who would benefit
from masters-level training in forensic psychology. We believe these individuals will fall into one of
several categories: (1) Current bachelors-level criminal justice workers (e.g., law enforcement and
corrections officers), (2) Current bachelors-level mental health workers (e.g., behavioral health
technicians, mental health detention workers, rehabilitation center technicians), (3) Current
masters/doctoral-level mental health workers (e.g., counselors, social workers) who would like
additional training to prepare for work with criminal populations, and (4) Individuals from all fields who
are looking to gain a master’s degree for career advancement. (Many individuals from all
backgrounds are drawn to this topic out of personal interest.) This program will provide all of those
students a high quality accessible program offered by faculty at the cutting edge of the field. The
proposed degree involves specialized coursework in forensic assessment, legal decision making,
criminological theory, psychological research, and criminal law. We believe the interdisciplinary
approach of involving both psychology and criminology courses is the best approach to the curriculum
and will allow students from these varying backgrounds to understand the field from multiple
perspectives.
The Occupational Outlook Handbook (The Bureau of Labor Statistics, United States Department of
Labor) lists psychologists, mental health workers, and mental health assistants as being occupations
growing “much faster than average” over the next eight years (through 2024). There is also increasing
competition for higher level / supervisory / administrative positions in the law enforcement and
correctional settings, and graduate training is seen as essential to success in obtaining such
positions.
As market research, we identified that there are 27 existing masters-level programs in the US that
have a specific focus on Forensic Psychology. Of those, 10 of them are available online. ASU would
be the highest-ranked institution to offer such a degree. Combined with ASU’s reputation in the field
and comparatively low program cost, we believe this program would be popular and would further
enhance ASU’s visibility in this field.
3. IMPACT ON OTHER PROGRAMS - Attach any letters of collaboration/support from impacted
programs. (see Checklist coversheet)
Three other units at ASU offer psychology programs, and we will attach impact statements from these
units: The Department of Psychology (CLAS), the College of Letters and Sciences, Sandra Day
O’Connor College of Law, and the Polytechnic School (Fulton Schools of Engineering).
In addition, we have included a letter of collaboration from our partners in this program, the School of
Criminology and Criminal Justice and the School of Social Work.
4. PROJECTED ENROLLMENT - How many new students do you anticipate enrolling in this program
each year for the next five years? Please note, The Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) requires nine
masters and six doctoral degrees be awarded every three years. Thus, the projected enrollment
numbers must account for this ABOR requirement.

Enrollment Note: These figures represent our best conservative estimate based on our
assessment of the current market. We have no intention at this point of limiting enrollment and
have the capacity to grow the program to meet enrollment demands.
5. STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES AND ASSESMENT:
A. List the knowledge, competencies, and skills students should have attained by graduation
from the proposed degree program. (You can find examples of program Learning Outcomes at
(http://www.asu.edu/oue/assessment.html
).
Informally, the goal of this program is to provide working professionals with an understanding of
mental health issues and human behavior with respect to crime and the criminal justice / legal
system. To meet that goal, we have developed the following two primary learning outcomes.
These outcomes are based on the University Office of Evaluation and Educational Effectiveness
model learning outcomes for program assessment.
Outcome 1: Graduates of this program will demonstrate knowledge of the history, context, best
practices, and training components of the field of forensic psychology. This will be assessed in
two parts:
Sub-Outcome 1: History & Context. Graduates of this program will demonstrate
knowledge of the history of the field of forensic psychology, and how the role of forensic
psychologists evolved over time. Further, students will demonstrate an understanding of
the scope and responsibilities of the modern field of forensic psychology—what the roles
of forensic psychologists are, and how those roles serve the larger legal system.
Sub-Outcome 2: Practices and Training: Graduates of this program will demonstrate
knowledge in the current best practices of forensic psychology, the procedure by forensic
psychologists evaluate individuals and assist the courts, and the details of the training
required for full licensure as a forensic psychologist.
Outcome 2: Graduates of this program will demonstrate knowledge of the scientific method that
underlies research in forensic psychology and be able to evaluate the findings and practical utility
of forensic psychological research.
B. Describe the plans and methods to assess whether students have achieved the knowledge,
competencies and skills identified in the Learning Outcomes. (You can find examples of
assessment methods at (http://www.asu.edu/oue/assessment.html
).
Our assessment will be carried out via a written exam, administered to students during their final
term in the program. This exam also serves as the comprehensive exam for the degree program.
Measure 1. To assess the goals described in Outcome 1 above, we will be administering a written
exam to students during their final term. One section of the exam is dedicated to both short- and
long-form written answers to a set of exam items designed to assess each of the two sub-
outcomes. The students’ response to each question will be graded by program faculty on an
Unsatisfactory / Satisfactory / Outstanding scale.
Performance Criteria 1. For the purposes of program assessment, we expect to have 80% of our
students pass this section of the exam. In order to pass this section, a “Satisfactory” or
“Outstanding” score must be received on 80% of the items in each sub-outcome section. (In other
words, students must receive at least 80% on BOTH the History and Context and the Practices
and Training sub-outcomes.)
Measure 2. The goals described in Outcome 2 will be assessed via an exam (separate from the
one described in Measure 1) given at the end of a required course sequence on scientific
research methodology (to be completed during the student’s 2
nd
or 3
rd
term). This course
sequence provides direct instruction on the scientific principles that form the basis of Outcome 2.
Request to implement a new degree program 10-16-13 Page 5 of 22
The exam at end of this course is cumulative in nature and so it covers all aspects of the learning
outcome.
Performance Criteria 2. For the purposes of program assessment, we expect to have 80% of our
students pass this exam with a grade of B (80%) or higher.
Internal Assessment: The above metrics are designed to be our program’s “assessment plan”
for the UOEEE program assessment process. In addition, however, we will be engaging in
several additional assessments to help us ensure the quality of our program:
1) Student Feedback / Survey of Graduates. In addition to our objective measures of learning, it is
important that our students feel satisfied with the program and that they received a good value for
their tuition. As such, we will be administering semi-annual surveys in which students can provide
us with feedback about the current state of the program. This will allow us to better understand
our students needs and interests and will help guide future course development (and course
redevelopment if necessary). We will similarly be surveying our graduates to obtain their
impressions of which aspects of our program worked well and which they would have like to have
changed. This further gives us the ability to monitor the unique needs of our online population and
adjust our program accordingly.
2) Career Placement / Advancement. We will be tracking our graduates’ career placements after
the completion of the program. Because this program targets already-working adults, our goal is
to find whether our students’ careers have been tangibly improved as a result of the program
(e.g., eligibility for promotions, raises, ability to change employer, ability to switch career).
6. ACCREDITATION OR LICENSING REQUIREMENTS (if applicable): Provide the names of the
external agencies for accreditation, professional licensing, etc. that guide your curriculum for this
program, if any. Describe any requirements for accreditation or licensing.
N/A
7. FACULTY, STAFF, AND RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS:
A. Faculty
i. Current Faculty - List the name, rank, highest degree, area of specialization/expertise
and estimate of the level of involvement of all current faculty members who will teach
in the program.
Our ASU-wide Law and Behavioral Science group has over 20 faculty associated with it, any
of whom may teach in this program. However, the core faculty who will be most involved with
offering this particular degree are:
Tess Neal, Ph.D. | Assistant Professor | School of Social and Behavioral Sciences
Expertise: Clinical Forensic Psychology; Bias in Clinical Judgments
Jessica Salerno, Ph.D. | Assistant Professor | School of Social and Behavioral Sciences
Expertise: Emotional Evidence and the Law; Legal Decision Making
Hank Fradella, J.D., Ph.D. | Professor | School of Criminology and Criminal Justice
Expertise: Crime and Mental Health
Jose Ashford, Ph.D. | Professor | School of Social Work
Expertise: Legal Issues in Social Work; Assessment of Mental Disorders; Mental Health and
Criminal Sentencing.
Dustin Pardini, Ph.D. | Associate Professor | School of Criminology and Criminal Justice
Expertise: Mental Disorders and Violence
Request to implement a new degree program 10-16-13 Page 6 of 22
Nick Schweitzer, Ph.D. | Associate Professor | School of Social and Behavioral Sciences
Expertise: Science and the Law; Legal Decision Making
Stacia Stolzenberg, Ph.D. | Assistant Professor | School of Criminology and Criminal Justice
Expertise: Juveniles and the Law
Rick Trinkner, Ph.D. | Incoming Asst. Prof. | School of Criminology and Criminal Justice
Expertise: Procedural Justice
Nicole Roberts, Ph.D. | Associate Professor | School of Social and Behavioral Sciences
Expertise: Clinical Psychology
ii. New Faculty - Describe the new faculty hiring needed during the next three years to
sustain the program. List the anticipated hiring schedule and financial sources for
supporting the addition of these faculty members.
We do not anticipate new tenure-track faculty being necessary for this program. In the past
two years, four new tenure-track faculty have been hired in anticipation of this and related
programs. If anything, we would look to hire at the lecturer and/or Clinical Faculty level should
the program enrollment justify. Such a hire would be made out of the proceeds of the tuition
revenue and/or program fee funds.
iii. Administration of the program - Explain how the program will be administered for the
purposes of admissions, advising, course offerings, etc. Discuss the available staff
support.
The administration of the program will fall to the existing admissions, scheduling, and
advising infrastructure of the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences, its Graduate
Studies office, and its School of Social and Behavioral Sciences. This infrastructure currently
handles graduate admissions and advising. We have sufficient knowledge and experience to
administer this new program. The exact level of support needed will fluctuate with enrollment.
While in the initial year or two we expect the marginal increase in workload to be absorbed by
existing staff, we are prepared to use program revenue (from both tuition and program fee) to
expand the staff to ensure adequate administrative support. The program will also have a
faculty director coordinating course offerings, admissions, staffing, etc.
B. Resource requirements needed to launch and sustain the program: Describe any new
resources required for this program’s success such as new staff, new facilities, new
library resources, new technology resources, etc
Fortunately, ASU's infrastructure is well-suited to this academic area. We do not anticipate any
major new library / equipment / laboratory / staff needs associated with this specific degree
proposal aside from those mentioned in section 7.A.iii. Theoretically, we may need a fixed-term
faculty position (enrollment dependent), and there will be marginal and fractional costs associated
with the administration of this program, but we believe these costs should be covered by the
enrollment revenue generated.
8. COURSES:
A. Course Prefix(es): Provide the following information for the proposed graduate program.
i. Will a new course prefix(es) be required for this degree program?
Yes No
B. New Courses Required for Proposed Degree Program: Provide course prefix, number, title,
and credit hours and description for any new courses required for this degree program.
The following three courses have been submitted and received Final Approval in Changemaker.
The remaining courses used by the program are already in existence.
