APA Accredited
Psy.D. Program in Clinical Psychology
La Salle University's APA Accredited Psy.D. Program in Clinical
Psychology is a professional program intended for those students
who have completed a bachelor's degree in psychology, or a related
field and for those who hold a master's degree in a mental health
discipline.
It is a 5-year full time program that has a part-time option that
allows two levels of the program to be completed over 4 calendar
years for a maximum time frame of 7 years from entry to degree completion.
The Program follows the practitioner-scholar model of training clinical
psychologists, and as such, an intensive integration of theory and
practice is stressed throughout the entire course of study. The
program requires the completion of a two-year practicum progression
and a full year clinical internship. It also requires the completion
of the Clinical Dissertation, a qualitative or quantitative research
project that addresses an important original question of relevance
to the practice of clinical psychology. The program emphasizes those
approaches to the practice of clinical psychology that have demonstrated
empirical support and acknowledges and incorporates issues of human
diversity throughout the curriculum. The program offers four areas
of concentrated study for students with particular career interests:
General Practice
Clinical-Child and Family Psychology
Clinical Health Psychology
Sport-Performance Psychology
Accreditation:
The Psy.D. Program in clinical Psychology is fully accredited by
the American Psychological Association (our next scheduled site
visit is in 2013). For general information about APA accreditation

Therefore, a graduate of this designated program who decides to
apply for licensing as a psychologist typically will meet the educational
requirements for licensing. However, in each jurisdiction there
are/may be additional requirements that must be satisfied. Please
contact the state or provincial licensing board in the jurisdiction
to which you plan to apply for exact information.
