Introduction
The doctoral programs are distinctive for achieving dual goals of preparing students to be both scholars and professionals. Since its inception in 1951, the clinical psychology doctoral program meets the educational demands of students committed to a career in professional psychology.
The five-year Ph.D. program requires four years of full-time study, supervised clinical practice and research, a one-year, full-time internship, and a dissertation. On average, it takes six years to complete the program. The doctoral program qualifies graduates for the New York State Psychology licensing examination.
To achieve its dual objectives, the program encompasses research, theory, psychological, biological, and social bases of behavior, along with extensive clinical practice in psychodiagnostics and psychotherapy. Clinical supervisors have had postgraduate training, and most are Diplomats of the American Board of Professional Psychology.
Throughout the program, all students attend a colloquium series which serves as a forum for guest lectures and faculty and student presentations.
Admission Requirements
The application deadline for fall admission to the doctoral program is January 15.
Applicants to the doctoral programs are required to have completed undergraduate courses in general psychology, experimental psychology, statistics, developmental psychology, and abnormal psychology.
Applicants are required to submit Graduate Record Exam (GRE) results (including the General Exam and the Psychology Exam). The Miller Analogies Test is not required. Whil the Ph.D. program does not have minimum required scores, most candidates have GRE scores considerably above 500 and GPAs well above 3.0.
Top applicants are selected for required group interviews.
