Graduate Program

The psychology department offers a master of arts (MA) degree in psychology with an emphasis in clinical psychology that is earned en route to the doctor of philosophy (PhD) degree in clinical health psychology. In general, our programs train students within the context of the scientist-practitioner model. That is, we value an integrated approach to both the science and practice of clinical psychology. Our training emphasizes the contribution of research to the understanding, treatment and prevention of human problems, and the application of knowledge that is grounded in scientific evidence.
