The Clinical Psychology Program at the University of Tennessee Knoxville has held continuous accreditation from the American Psychological Association since 1949. Our curriculum prepares students to become skilled clinical psychologists who will advance the field through research, education, and clinical practice.
We adhere to The Tennessee Model, a framework that trains students to view psychological research and practice as interconnected disciplines, enhancing outcomes in both areas. Students gain comprehensive instruction in research methods, psychological evaluation, therapeutic interventions, and pedagogical skills. Faculty members incorporate diverse theoretical approaches in clinical training, including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, emotion-focused, and systemic methodologies.

Qualification Requirements
Applicants to the Clinical Program are required to have a bachelor's degree from a college or university accredited by the appropriate regional accrediting agency or foreign equivalent and to take the GRE general exam. Our program has made the GRE General Test optional for admission. You may submit scores if you have them, and they will be considered by the admissions committee. Applications without GRE scores will be given equal consideration. The Graduate Council requires a minimum grade point average of 2.7 out of a possible 4.0, or a 3.0 during the senior year of undergraduate study. Applicants with previous graduate work must have a grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale or equivalent on all graduate work. In general, most of our students have undergraduate GPA's over 3.5. A Master's degree is not required for admission into our doctoral programs, however, students who hold Master's degrees are encouraged to apply to our doctoral programs.

a total score of 80 on the internet-based TOEFL (iBT),
