All of the programs offer the PhD degree, except when otherwise noted. The original date of accreditation, listed for each program, is the day on which the program's accredited status became effective. The guidelines for evaluating these programs can be obtained from the APA Office of Program Consultation and Accreditation.

The Committee accepts third-party comment on programs in advance of their next scheduled reviews.
Accreditation is a voluntary process.
Programs that have not applied for accreditation are not included in the list. Programs listed as accredited, inactive have not admitted students for two successive years. The accreditation status listed for each program reflects that program's current accredited status. If a review of a program is not complete or the decision is not final, the program's prior accreditation status continues to be in effect until the review has been completed and a final decision has been reached.
