The Clinical Psychology PhD Program is committed to educating students in clinical science, with rigorous training in both research and applied clinical work. Fully accredited by the American Psychological Association Committee on Accreditation (CoA) since 1972, the doctoral program reflects the scientist-practitioner model of training. We provide students with the skills to pursue careers in academics, research, and clinical practice.

Specific areas of faculty interest include affective and motivational processes in depression, anxiety disorders, stress and emotion regulation, African-American issues, eating disorders, trichotillomania, cognitive assessment and therapy, smoking, Borderline Personality Disorder, drug expectancies, child clinical issues, sports psychology, and human services program evaluation. Faculty research programs offer a mix of applied and basic research opportunities.
