The clinical psychology PhD program equips doctoral candidates with both diagnostic and treatment competencies while establishing a robust scientific framework for addressing diverse psychological disorders. This curriculum follows a scientist-practitioner educational approach. Alumni frequently secure positions across various settings including mental health facilities, collaborative practices, government and private organizations, healthcare institutions, and academic medical centers. Numerous graduates pursue teaching careers as university professors, medical school instructors, research specialists, psychological consultants, or editorial roles for psychology publications.
The Clinical Psychology Ph.D. requires at least five years of dedicated full-time study (irrespective of the applicant's prior degree level). This duration incorporates a mandatory year-long APA-approved predoctoral internship obtained through the national psychology internship matching system. Students must complete two research components: a Second Year Research Project and a Dissertation. Passing both Research and Clinical Qualifying Examinations is mandatory before commencing dissertation work. The doctoral program mandates 105 semester hours encompassing coursework, practical training, internship, and research requirements for degree completion.
