Accelerated Master's Students

Project DIRECT 4+1 MS students complete a 30-credit master's degree in behavioral health, typically in the year following their senior year at Tulane. Behavioral health is a broad term generally understood to subsume mental health, substance use disorders, and health related behaviors. In addition to contributing to the ongoing efforts of Project DIRECT, 4+1 MS students can choose to work with Dr. Baker on a MS thesis. They are encouraged to present this independent, mentored research at national conferences and submit their work for publication in peer-reviewed academic journals. Graduates of the 4+1 MS Program in Behavioral Health are well-equipped to work in a variety of roles related to healthcare.
