Typical Adult Track Schedule
The curriculum plan shown below is based on a four-year program prior to internship. However, most students elect to complete the program over a five year period before going on internship. This permits additional electives, research experience, and greater progress on the dissertation prior to the internship. The program strongly strongly encourages completion of the dissertation prior to internship.
Please note that, although we do not offer a terminal Masters program in clinical psychology, all students will earn a Masters degree in advance of earning a Ph.D. To earn a Masters degree, students must complete at least 30-credit hours of coursework and maintain at least a 3.0 GPA. (Masters requirements described are in effect for students entering in Fall 2018 and later).
