The program in Clinical Psychology: Applied Developmental is a CPA accredited clinical psychology training program that follows a scientist-practitioner model. The main objective of this combined MA and PhD program is the training of graduate students for work as clinical and academic psychologists through a prescribed curriculum offering both clinical and developmental perspectives on the difficulties children, youth and families may encounter. <br><br>Students entering the M.A. program do so with the understanding that they are expected to pursue admission to the doctoral degree by first completing the M.A. degree with a research thesis. Students entering the Ph.D. program from other universities do so with the understanding that they are required to complete all the required M.A. level courses for which they do not have equivalent course work. In this way we attempt to ensure that all of our doctoral graduates meet the requirements for registration as psychologists and for working as psychologists in clinical, school, academic, and research positions.
