PhD in Clinical, Counseling and Applied Psychology

The PsyD in counseling psychology prepares students to seek a psychologist's license in Washington. Graduates are trained as culturally aware therapists, diagnosticians, and evaluators, and the program also readies them for research or teaching in higher education. The degree follows a five-year course after the bachelor's level and relies on applied, evidence-based scholarship. International, multicultural, and social issues receive particular attention within a Christian worldview. Evening classes run roughly twice a week, and the program holds APA accreditation. Applicants should note that submissions are due each year by the main December deadline, with remaining application materials due in January. The next cohort starts in August 2027, and information sessions are offered to those considering the program. Students interested in doctoral-level clinical training can request information or apply through the university.
