罗格斯大学的临床科学课程专为除临床实践外对研究和奖学金感兴趣的学生而设计。大多数教师采用认知或行为方法进行评估和治疗，该计划主要针对希望接受此类培训的学生。对于兴趣不拘一格的学生，他们可能会提供更多机会，他们可能会通过其他方法（例如家庭系统）的课程和有监督的经验来补充认知行为疗法的培训。对于主要关注临床心理学实践的学生，大学还通过单独的应用心理学和专业心理学研究生院（GSAPP）提供临床心理学的研究生培训，从而获得心理学博士学位（Psy.D.）学位。
The clinical science program at Rutgers is designed for students with a primary interest in research and scholarship in addition to clinical practice. The majority of the faculty have a cognitive or behavioral approach to assessment and treatment, and the program is geared primarily to students who wish to receive this type of training. There are also more limited opportunities for students whose interests are eclectic and who may supplement training in cognitive behavior therapy with courses and supervised experiences in other approaches (e.g. family systems). For students whose primary interests are in the practice of clinical psychology, the University also offers graduate training in clinical psychology leading to the Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) degree through the separate Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology (GSAPP).
