Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology - Clinical

The Clinical Psychology Program at Washington State University is based on the scientist-practitioner model of training. The Program is designed to integrate theory, research, and clinical practice in the training of students. Students are thus involved in research activities each semester in the Program and clinical practica beginning in the third semester until the start of the 12-month internship. The goal of the program is to train highly competent clinical psychologists who will obtain high quality APA-accredited internships and, with graduation, make positive contributions to the field of clinical psychology. Given that our graduates can potentially make contributions to clinical psychology in academic, research, medical, clinical, or community settings dependent on their interests and goals, the Program provides broad, general clinical training during the four to five years that students are at the University. Areas of interest within the Clinical Psychology Program include: Clinical Health Psychology, Neuropsychology, Adult Psychopathology, Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, and Quantitative Methods in Psychology. The Program is fully accredited by the American Psychological Association.
