Course Information
The 93 credit program is designed to be completed in five years, with four years of full-time graduate study on campus and one year spent at a full-time, off-site APA-accredited clinical internship. The curricular content was designed to be consistent with the American Psychological Associations (APA) Accreditation Standards and the Standards for Specialty Training of the APA.
The coursework for the program has been designed and sequenced in a way that will allow students to develop increasingly complex and cumulative knowledge over the course of their training. Additionally, practicum training will be sequenced in a way that allows students to attain increasingly complex clinical competencies. Students will receive individual supervision from faculty and external supervisors and will also be part of vertical supervision teams.
