The clinical psychology program is designed to prepare students for further study in psychology at the doctoral level and for employment in clinical positions at the master’s level. This two-year 46 semester hour program is designed with the scientist-practitioner model as its foundation — clinical knowledge and experience is combined with research training. Therefore, the program provides a broad background in the following: application of statistics and research methodology; thorough exposure to the areas of personality; psychopathology and psychotherapy; intensive training in the assessment of intelligence and personality; supervised practice in interviewing and therapeutic intervention; and the opportunity to emphasize clinical work with adults or children while sharing common courses. An empirical thesis is required for completion of this program, and students are encouraged to select a thesis chairperson and begin their thesis during the first year in the program. Students are also offered other opportunities to work with faculty on research teams that include both graduate and undergraduate students. Students receive clinical training through course work and complete a minimum 480 hours of supervised clinical practicum in community mental health settings. The clinical psychology program is fully accredited by the Masters in Psychology Accreditation Council (MPAC).     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Applicants must have taken a minimum of 15 semester hours in psychology, including an introductory course in statistics, a course in experimental psychology or research design, and six semesters hours of upper-level psychology courses.  Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements   Requirements Qualifying Exam: GRE Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Yes Research Competency: Yes Clinical Internship: Yes   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements     Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 1235  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 1345  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $601  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $7212  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation: Roman Catholic
