Overview
We recognize psychology as an empirical science and expect students to have a broad understanding of existing psychological knowledge and methods. We train students to base their scholarly and professional activity on the scientific foundation of psychology, including an understanding of and attention to human diversity.
We train students as generalists who are prepared to conduct ethically appropriate scientific research and clinical interventions with children and adults in an increasingly multicultural society. We provide an integration of didactic study, supervised clinical activity, and mentored scholarly research. This mission is consistent with and complementary to the mission of the Department of Psychology and University of Nevada, Las Vegas . The Clinical Psychology program is accredited by the American Psychological Association.
Career Possibilities
Careers in clinical psychology typically involve employment in private practice, hospital and mental health agencies and centers, and academia. Career practices usually involve assessment, treatment, consultation, program development and evaluation, and clinical supervision.
