The goal of Baylor University's Doctor of Psychology Program is to develop professional psychologists with the conceptual and clinical competencies necessary to contribute to the science of psychology and deliver psychological services in a manner that is effective and responsive to individual and societal needs both now and in the future. Being responsive to needs includes the recognition and valuing of psychological and ethnic-cultural diversity. The program strives to develop psychologists that are well grounded in the science of clinical psychology and committed to life-long learning in an evolving profession. A major focus of the program is coursework and supervised clinical experience through which clinical competencies can be developed. The curriculum is designed to develop a strong base in the theoretical underpinnings of culturally sensitive clinical assessment and intervention. From this base, students engage in closely supervised clinical practicum placements which are varied in their emphases and theoretical orientations. Clinical experience and coursework are consolidated through a graduated process of evaluation that emphasizes the integration of classroom learning and practical supervised experiences.
