Our doctoral program in clinical psychology has been accredited by the American Psychological Association since 1971. The
program follows a scientist-practitioner model of training in which the development of research skills, coursework and clinical
practica are integrated into a coherent program of study. This integrated approach has prepared our graduates to function
successfully in the many settings in which clinical psychologists work, such as colleges and universities, medical schools,
community mental health centers, hospitals, research centers, and private practice. For more information about how we accomplish
this, see our Program Curriculum.
Areas of Concentration and Specialization within Clinical Psychology
All students get a core background in basic clinical skills and exposure to a broad range of clinical problems in their first
two years of required courses and practica. In their later years, students may chose to concentrate in one of three areas
within clinical psychology -- Clinical Child Psychology, Behavioral Medicine or Clinical Community Psychology -- by taking specific electives and getting specific practica and research experiences. (Students who do not choose an area
of concentration may participate in concentration-specific experiences, but only as space permits.) In addition to the areas
of concentration, we also offer two areas of specialization: Occupational Health Psychology and the Psychology of Religion and Spirituality.

| Current Clinical Graduate Students |
Regular reporting of our clinical graduate students' professional and clinical activities is necessary for accreditation
purposes. It is also useful for individual students to keep track of these activities because this information is needed when
applying for pre-doctoral internships. Please follow this link to do your Clinical and Professional Reporting.
