Clinical Psychology

Department of Psychology

The Clinical Psychology program is fully accredited by the American Psychological Association and is a charter member of the Academy of Clinical Science. We seek to train doctoral level clinical scientists who have a thorough grounding in research and scholarly activities, can develop and utilize scientific knowledge, are skilled in using their critical thinking and analytic tools in problem formulation and solution generation, and have a thoroughly developed repertoire of professional competencies, including applied skills. The program emphasizes creative research and applications of psychological principles to a broad range of applied problems. The program’s scholars, faculty and students alike, make significant contributions in the areas of research methodology, treatment development, outcomes research, program development, program evaluation, training, supervision, technology transfer, basic behavioral research, and philosophy of science. The program values these behaviors regardless of the setting in which they occur. The program includes: Training in basic psychology (a total of 7 courses), Research training (4 methods courses and MA-level and doctoral-level research projects), Didactic training in clinical psychology (10 courses), and Practicum training.
