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.
