The Adler University Master of Psychology in Health and Wellness (MOPHW) is a 36-credit, specialized nonclinical degree that prepares professionals for leadership roles that enhance health outcomes.

As one of the only programs of its kind in Canada, this cutting-edge master’s program goes beyond theory, providing students with hands-on expertise in psychometric assessment, wellness program design, and evidence-based leadership — equipping them to challenge the status quo, implementing innovative solutions, shaping policy, and leading efforts that drive lasting change in health care, public health, and community organizations.

Rooted in the biopsychosocial model of human growth and development, the curriculum trains students to assess population health needs and design evidence-based, sustainable interventions informed by research, health promotion, neurobiology, and cognition. It also aligns with many of the standards set by key professional organizations, including the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA), American Psychological Association (APA) Division 38 (Health Psychology), and the Society for Public Health Education (SOPHE).
