Clinical Psychology Program

Our Ph.D. program in clinical psychology is grounded in a clinical science model of training. We emphasize the development of each student’s potential as a research scientist. In addition, students engage in clinical training that prepares them to conduct informed clinical research and to provide clinical services to the community.

Although students in the Clinical Program receive the training necessary to provide high quality clinical services, this program is not designed to train individuals who are primarily interested in becoming full-time clinicians. Rather, the goal of clinical training is to provide our students with the experiences necessary to conduct high quality clinical science that will contribute to the empirical basis for the practice of Clinical Psychology.

Our faculty and students have particular strengths in child clinical psychology, health psychology, and community prevention service. Students can also develop expertise on research with ethnic minorities, substance abuse and quantitative methods. We place a high value on promoting a training environment that supports collegiality and collaboration within the clinical program, with other areas of the department, and with other units of the University. We have a deep respect for research and training that is done in service to the larger community. We are a member of the Academy of Psychological Clinical Science and we are dually accredited by the Psychological Clinical Science Accreditation System (PCSAS) and the American Psychological Association (APA). We invite you to explore this site to learn more about our research and training.
