About the School

Students in Pacific’s PsyD program are exposed to a broad, flexible model of practice including new service delivery models, which reflect changing needs and opportunities for clinical psychologists. Successful completion of the program results in a versatile degree for practice, teaching, or research. The program’s in-house clinical psychology training facilities provide the opportunity for doctoral students to build their skills with patients.

The coursework in the PsyD program reflects the latest empirical findings in the field of clinical psychology and includes courses, practicum placements, and a dissertation with professional support. Varied faculty interests provide students with exposure to a broad range of theoretical perspectives and assessment, intervention, research/evaluation, consultation/education and management/supervision skills. Four emphases within the PsyD program allow students to focus training on a specific area with its own defined curriculum, research programs, and clinical practica.

With diverse classes, students, and professional interests students will easily find classmates and colleagues who share their interests in clinical psychology. Student-led groups offer mentoring support to incoming students, making them feel welcome from the start.

The aim of Pacific’s PsyD program is to prepare competent, ethical, and socially responsive practitioner-scholars who are committed to the lifelong learning and collaborative practice of psychology.
