PhD in Clinical, Counseling and Applied Psychology

The doctoral program in counseling psychology follows a scholar-practitioner model. It studies human development from many angles, among them developmental, biological, cognitive, and multicultural views, and it stresses how social context and environment shape individual development and mental health. Applications for fall consideration are due in mid-December. Selected candidates are interviewed in mid-January, admission decisions follow in February, and the final doctoral admissions deadline falls in mid-April. The page reports that the program holds accreditation on a contingent status that runs until mid-2029, and it gives the contact details of the accrediting commission. Prospective students can attend a virtual information session hosted by the Graduate School. Applicants should plan around these dates and review the information session details if they want to speak with program directors and current students before submitting materials.
