How to Apply
Requirements for Admission
This program is designed specifically for students matriculated in a doctoral training program who have completed at least three years of full-time graduate study in clinical psychology, including practicum level experience in diagnostic assessment and various intervention modes, including specific experience with children and families. Preference is given to students in APA-approved doctoral programs in clinical psychology.
The Division of Psychology represents multiple theoretical approaches, and thus preference is given to applicants who are broadly prepared in child psychotherapy as well as in cognitive, behavioral and educational evaluations.
