The doctoral program prepares students to become licensed clinical psychologists with cutting-edge expertise in psychological assessment, therapy, and research, following a scientist-practitioner training model. A key goal is developing professionals capable of supervising and leading therapists in diverse mental health care teams. The curriculum focuses on essential competencies including clinical assessment and intervention techniques, along with research design, analysis, and dissemination skills that advance psychological knowledge. Students may specialize in one of five concentrations: adult psychology, applied behavior analysis, psychological assessment, developmental psychopathology, or health psychology.
To achieve these goals, the program offers students:
Hands-on clinical training with intensive supervision.
Guidance from faculty specialists across various therapeutic approaches.
Access to modern clinical tools and technologies.
Opportunities to develop and execute research projects.
An inclusive academic environment that fosters critical analysis of psychological literature and values diverse perspectives

Qualification Requirements
Applicants must submit official transcripts from all institutions they attended beyond high school. Transcripts must be submitted directly to PSYCAS. Transcripts sent to EMU will not be accepted as official, and the application will not be considered complete. (Applicants should allow 2-6 weeks for PSYCAS to process transcripts.)
Academic ability as measured by Verbal, Quantitative, and Analytical Writing scores on the GRE. In keeping with other Ph.D. programs in the State and with national criteria, admission typically includes a minimum score around the 50th percentile for each section. However, successful applicants may present much higher scores, given the highly competitive nature of clinical doctoral programs. Applicants are not required to take the GRE Advanced Psychology Test. GRE scores are submitted directly to PSYCAS
Achievement in undergraduate or graduate work. Admission typically includes a minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale. Again, successful applicants typically present with higher GPAs. Students may be admitted with either a bachelor's or a master's degree. Transfer credits will be determined on a case-by-case basis upon matriculation.
Academic background in psychology. Applicants must have completed a minimum of 20 undergraduate semester hours in psychology, including a course in statistics and a laboratory course in research methods/experimental psychology.
Personal qualities that predict success in graduate study and professional placement after graduation. To evaluate these, each applicant must submit three letters of recommendation. Personal qualities will also be evaluated in the context of an interview for those who pass the initial file review and are invited to the interview day(s).
Fit between applicant and faculty interests. A personal statement is required describing the applicant's interests. We will be particularly interested in students with research and/or clinical experiences that are a good fit with faculty areas of expertise.
Students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA in all graduate-level courses taken at EMU and in their program of study to remain in good academic standing and be eligible for graduation. Students do not need to be registered for classes during the semester of graduation.
