Clinical Psychology Psy.D.

(96 credits minimum)

The program typically requires four years of full-time study on campus plus a one-year clinical internship. A minimum of 96 credits of graduate study are required, distributed across the following areas of course work: psychology core, clinical/professional, electives, and dissertation. A 500-hour clinical placement and a full year of clinical internship or the equivalent is also a requirement for graduation. A list of the specific courses included among these requirements may be obtained from the department.

Any required course in which a grade lower than a B- is received must be repeated and any elective course in which a grade lower than a B- is received cannot be counted toward the 96 credits required for graduation. Students who receive two grades of C+ or lower will be expelled from the program.

There is no specific area of concentration requirement, but the student, in consultation with his/her doctoral committee, may select an appropriate area of concentration from course work within and outside the department.

See the Doctor of Psychology Program Guide for additional information about the program requirements.
