The PsyD specialization in clinical psychology provides learners with comprehensive
clinical training including psychopathology, psychological testing,
and psychotherapy. Because this area is designed to prepare learners
for state licensure eligibility as a clinical psychologist,* it is
a very rigorous program that requires online course work, residency,
and field training experiences. Doctoral graduates typically pursue careers
as independent clinical psychologists, but may also pursue careers in teaching,
research, program administration, or consulting.
Year-in-Residence Requirements: One two-week extended seminar followed by nine weekends-in-residence. Concludes with a second two-week extended seminar. See Year-in-Residence details.
