The Clinical Program is an APA-accredited program with a clinical science perspective, a strong research emphasis, and a cognitive-behavioral/social learning orientation.

The purpose of the Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology is:
• to give the student a knowledge of the field of psychology as a method of inquiry into human behavior with a focus on the central role of empiricism in all aspects of clinical psychology.
• to develop competence in theoretical and research issues that pertain to clinical psychology and related areas, and empirical methodologies for studying and providing clinical services.
• to give the student an identification with psychology as an integrated basic and applied science.
• to insure that the individual has the ability to function in research-oriented (e.g., academic) and applied (e.g., medical centers) settings through the development of competencies in the production and consumption of research, the teaching of clinical psychology, and the supervision and provision of clinical services.
