Further Your Education

 

Clinical Psychology prepares students for careers as practitioners eligible to apply for licensure as Licensed Psychological Associates (LPA) in Texas.

The program includes supervised practicum experiences that develop skills in psychological assessment, diagnosis, and clinical intervention. A Master's degree also serves as a foundation for further graduate study or teaching at community colleges. Students must complete capstone evaluations in assessment and psychotherapy during their final semester.

Although primarily focused on practical application, there are opportunities for research experience in faculty labs. A limited number of students may also pursue a formal thesis with support from a faculty mentor.
