Roosevelt University's Doctor of Psychology program educates future clinical psychologists in scientifically grounded, evidence-backed assessment and treatment methods. The curriculum develops ethical, skilled professionals in clinical psychology over five to six years of full-time study with Chicago-based in-person instruction. Applications are exclusively accepted for autumn enrollment. With an annual intake limited to 25 doctoral candidates, the psychology program ensures individualized faculty interaction, enhanced mentorship possibilities, and tailored academic support. Students collaborate directly with professors on research initiatives and dissertation work, while gaining chances to present at professional conferences and publish their findings.
Applications can be completed entirely online.
