Clinical students are expected to register for the Practicum in Clinical Treatment Approaches beginning in the fall semester of the second year and continuing until at-least the spring semester of the fourth year.
The research area requires other courses. Please discuss these additional requirements with the director of research area or your major professor.
The Clinical Program is designed to be completed in approximately five years. Thesis, specialty exam or major area paper and dissertation are sequential, and each must be completed prior to registration for the next. By the end of the student's second year, he or she should have successfully defended a thesis proposal and scheduled a date for completion of the thesis. By the end of the third year, the thesis should have been defended successfully, and the specialty exam or major area paper should be scheduled for completion. By the student's fourth year, the dissertation proposal should be successfully defended and its research should be in progress. Departmental funding is normally assured for years one through four; fifth-year funding is expected to be derived from the internship itself.
Thesis, major area paper and dissertation course registration is restricted for all students; release for registration is provided upon the student's providing the Clinical Program Office with appropriate contracts for each of these requirements.
The typical schedule for a clinical student during the academic year includes 12 hours of courses per semester, plus 1-3 semester hours of supervised practicum in the Psychological Services Center. An additional 20 hours a week are devoted to the departmental or agency assistantship. In addition to academic and field experiences, completion of the program requires that the student be considered free of personal problems that would interfere with his/her professional or academic pursuits, and conduct him/herself according to the ethical principles of both the American Psychological Association and the Guidelines for Providers.
