Overview

The Program is designed to integrate theory, research, and clinical practice in the training of students. Students are thus involved in research activities each semester in the Program and clinical practica beginning in the third semester until the start of the 12-month internship.

Features

The goal of the Clinical Psychology program at Washington State University is to train highly competent clinical psychologists who will obtain high quality APA-accredited internships and, with graduation, make positive contributions to the field of clinical psychology.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

The Clinical Program operates on the proposition that research training is an integral part of the education of clinical psychologists.

Although the program admits only persons who expect to receive a Ph.D., each student who enters at the bachelor’s degree level is expected to complete an empirical master’s project while in progress toward the doctoral dissertation.

Students may conduct research under the supervision of either clinical or experimental faculty.

In addition to the master’s project and dissertation, clinical students are expected to be involved in research activity under the direction of a faculty member during each semester in residence.
