Nova Southeastern University's Dual Admission Psychology program provides four specialized pathways to equip you for a successful career in clinical or school psychology. Your place in either our Ph.D. or Psy.D. program is secured while you complete your undergraduate studies, allowing you to concentrate fully on your professional goals. The demand for qualified psychologists continues to rise as society navigates increasingly complex challenges. Developing the ability to guide individuals through personal difficulties is now more crucial than ever, and NSU's Dual Admission program lets you begin honing this expertise earlier. NSU's immersive curriculum emphasizes practical training, research opportunities, and hands-on experience essential for clinical practice or academic research. Though each specialization has different coursework and prerequisites, you'll benefit from distinguished faculty mentorship and valuable practical experience regardless of your chosen path.
The Psy.D. degree emphasizes professional psychology practice. Through the Clinical Psychology Psy.D. program, you'll master evidence-based diagnostic and treatment approaches applicable across diverse environments, from private clinics to healthcare institutions. Both the Psy.D. and Ph.D. programs mandate a one-year internship beyond the standard curriculum duration, which is incorporated into the specialist's degree requirements.
