Adult Clinical Psychology

Our clinical program is designed to provide students with foundational knowledge in the field of clinical psychology. In turn, the 鈥渢ypical鈥 course of study will train students to obtain expertise working among adult populations. Broadly (see below), we refer to this area of research and clinical training as Adult Clinical. For those students seeking more specialized clinical and research experience working with adults or youth, our clinical program offers two specialties: Clinical Health Psychology (see link below) and Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology (see side menu link).

Faculty research in the adult clinical psychology area at 麻豆短视频 State has two central foci:

Ph.D. Training

Coursework

Coursework is designed to provide students with foundational knowledge in the field of clinical psychology. Consequently, students complete the course requirements for the clinical training program. Students seeking to further develop their quantitative skills have the opportunity to participate in our Department's strong quantitative psychology minor. 

Research Training

Research training is designed to develop students into highly skilled adult clinical psychology scientists. Graduate students are actively involved in research throughout their training. Across faculty members, there is a strong track record of extramural funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Teaching

Students are encouraged to become involved in undergraduate teaching. During the beginning of the 3rd year, students are enrolled in a teaching seminar and, with the supervision of a faculty member, teach one or several undergraduate courses.
