About the School
The Clinical Psychology Ph.D. Program has a clinical science perspective, a strong research emphasis, and a cognitive-behavioral orientation. We apply the science of human behavior and behavior change to the understanding and amelioration of psychopathology and other forms of psychological impairment. The Clinical Program has been continuously accredited by the American Psychological Association since 1966 and by the Psychological Clinical Science Accreditation System (PCSAS) since 2014.
Curriculum
The Clinical Psychology Program is based on the clinical science model, and as such, takes an empirical, evidence-based practice approach to research and clinical training in which the integration of science and practice is central. Mentored research activities, coursework in basic and clinical psychology, teaching, and clinical practica represent the training experiences available in this model. Students work closely with selected faculty members within the context of one-to-one interactions with research faculty or small practicum teams in the clinical setting. Within this "learning by doing" approach, students are continuously involved in active research projects as well as supervised clinical practice. The critical role of empiricism as a unifying perspective for research experiences and clinical activities is viewed as an important aspect of the program, as is attention to issues of cultural competence, diversity, and inclusion.
The Clinical Program's commitment to a clinical science training model is reflected in the research productivity of our graduate students. In recent years, graduate students have published an average of ten peer-reviewed publications prior to completing their predoctoral internship placements.
