The Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) in Clinical Psychology Program educates and
trains students in the major aspects of clinical practice. To ensure that
students are prepared adequately, the curriculum integrates theory, training,
research, and practice, preparing students to work with a wide range of
populations in need of psychological services and in a broad range of roles.
Students who complete the clinical psychology program earn a Doctor of
Psychology (PsyD) degree.
The PsyD degree combines relevant research, applied
theory, and field experience to prepare the graduate to apply psychological
knowledge in a variety of settings and roles. The program accepts students who
have a minimum of a bachelor's degree. Although prior degrees need not be in
psychology, some psychology courses are required (as prerequisites for
admission), and some experience in psychological services is desirable.
