The Psy.D. program is committed to the education and training objectives for doctoral programs set forth by The American Psychological Association (APA) and has been influenced by the values of The National Council of Schools and Programs in Professional Psychology (NCSPP). Students are instructed intensively in psychotherapy, psychodiagnostics and in other areas pertinent to the practice of clinical psychology. The Psy.D. program fosters the development of research skill through coursework, independent projects under faculty direction, and dissertation. Program graduates are prepared to take leadership positions in the mental health field. All course scheduling is done with advisement. As an evening program, the Psy.D. curriculum was developed to address the educational needs and objectives of students who have a master's degree, who are working, and whose lifestyles do not permit attendance at daytime classes. The Psy.D. program is distinct from the counseling master's degree programs in admissions, curriculum, research and practica requirements. Students work only toward the doctoral degree and do not study for a master's degree simultaneously. Students in the Psy.D. program are referred to the Psy.D. Handbook and the Dissertation Handbook, which delineate additional aspects of the doctoral program, including philosophy, goals, competencies, curriculum, dissertation, comprehensive examination, practica, and internship.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 100  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 954  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $480  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $8640  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
