PhD in Clinical, Counseling and Applied Psychology

The PsyD in Clinical Psychology prepares students to become licensed psychologists who provide applied clinical care. It holds accreditation from the American Psychological Association and follows a practitioner-scholar model in which coursework, clinical training and research are combined. Training runs three years of classes and practicum, then a full-year doctoral internship. After postdoctoral clinical training, graduates become eligible to sit for licensure examinations across the United States and in Canada. Students work within a major university setting, and the school and institution rank among the highest in the country. Course listings and admissions and outcomes data are published for applicants. Prospective students can ask for more information, attend an overview session with program leaders and complete the online application, which the school says takes under fifteen minutes.
