The Clinical Psychology PhD program adopts a scientist-practitioner approach and holds full accreditation from the American Psychological Association (APA). This rigorous program balances clinical research with practical application of scientific methods, spanning five years of intensive study. Students gain comprehensive training in psychological theory, hands-on experience with assessment and intervention techniques, opportunities to conduct significant clinical research, and chances to build teaching skills.
Our curriculum aligns with the scientist-practitioner framework and meets APA accreditation standards for doctoral clinical psychology programs. We incorporate state licensure requirements and draw upon key publications addressing doctoral education, professional training, and credentialing in clinical psychology, including specialized fields like clinical neuropsychology, health psychology, child psychology, and forensic psychology.
The forensic psychology specialization focuses on applying psychological evaluation and treatment methods to assist legal professionals in criminal, civil, and family law cases. This concentration offers advanced instruction in legal principles, behavioral research methods, and specialized assessment techniques, with particular emphasis on matters involving juveniles and criminal justice.
