Engage Your Skills

 

The Clinical Psychology Ph.D. program trains professionals with a blend of scientific knowledge and clinical skills, focusing on developing scientist-practitioners. Students work with faculty mentors for research, complete a dissertation, and must be enrolled full-time. The program emphasizes in-person coursework, as its demands are unsuitable for part-time schedules. Students engage in practicum experiences involving serious mental illness, substance use disorders, and various populations, including children and individuals in the legal system. Graduates are well-prepared for diverse roles in clinical, research, and academic settings, receiving comprehensive training in assessment, treatment, and prevention of psychological disorders.
