Overview
The program requires a full-time commitment for 5 years of study, including completion of six academic semesters of course work, a minimum 800 hours of practicum experience, a masters thesis, a preliminary examination to admit a student to doctoral candidacy, a dissertation, and a one-year internship. In addition to the basic coursework, students take additional courses, gain focused research experience, or gain practicum experience specific to one of our three specialty areas: behavioral medicine/health psychology, neuropsychology, or severe mental illness/psychiatric rehabilitation.
A recent study (Stewart, Roberts & Roy, 2007) that compared the U.S. News & World Report rankings to scholarly productivity rankings found that our doctoral program was among the top 10 underrated clinical psychology programs (see Table 8 in the article referenced below).
