The American Psychological Association-Accredited doctoral area of study in clinical psychology prepares students for careers in teaching, research, and clinical practice.
In addition to the basic curriculum, study in the clinical area consists of didactic and practicum experiences focusing on abnormal behavior, assessment, and methods of therapeutic intervention.
Through a first-year practicum, clinical students are introduced early to clinical work. Clinical work is continued in a variety of practica and externships throughout students' graduate training. Supervision is by clinical and adjunct faculty members, all of whom maintain an investment in clinical as well as teaching and research activities.
