Clinton Way Fresno, CA 93727 US   Phone: 866-825-5426   Visit Program Website At a Glance Program Requirements Tuition & Financial Aid Institution Overview Important Dates Upcoming Events Degrees: Program Format: Doctoral Ph.D. - Clinical Psychology On Campus   The Clinical Psychology PhD program offered at the Fresno campus is designed to: Introduce students to the ethical values and orientation of the professional psychologist; Provide a background in the psychological, biological and socio-cultural factors that influence human behavior; Develop students' research competencies; and Establish a foundation in the necessary technical skills required to function in clinical settings for working with diverse populations. While students receive an exceptional grounding in traditional clinical assessment and intervention, they are also taught to consider the potential value of advocacy, consultation or public policy work in helping both individuals and whole groups of clients with similar problems. For example, psychotherapy can be of great value to gay or lesbian clients struggling with the social pressures of the coming out process but the need for such treatment might be greatly reduced by applying clinical knowledge and skills in changing social mores and the plethora of discriminatory laws that create the hostile environment with which these client's struggle. At the Fresno location, all clinical psychology students have the opportunity to select one or more programs of emphasis to develop areas of focused study and clinical expertise in addition to their basic education in clinical psychology. These emphasis areas are ecosystemic child, clinical forensics, and health. Alliant students may elect to be trained as generalists sampling from any of the emphasis area courses. The proximity of the Fresno Campus to national parks and lakes offers a wide variety of opportunities for sight seeing, hiking, kayaking, skiing, etc., to offset the intensive pace of doctoral training. These amenities combine with the relatively low cost of living to make the strong Fresno programs especially attractive.     Accreditation Information: The CSPP Clinical PhD Program in Fresno is fully accredited by APA (202-336-5979).  # Of Credits Required: 150  Time To Degree: Minimum 5 years    Previous Degrees Undergraduate Degree: Applicants must hold or be eligible for an earned baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution prior to entry.  Pre-Requisite Courses a) Statistics b) Tests and Measurements or Differential Psychology c) Abnormal Psychology or Psychopathology d) Experimental Psychology or Physiological Psychology or Learning Theory  International Student Requirements 1) Official, translated transcripts and results from an educational credential evaluation service agency.
