By placing the cross of Jesus Christ in the heart of psychological education, Fuller's School of Psychology ventures to create a unique graduate-level educational experience. Our integrative approach is built on the conviction that Christian persons with refined clinical and evaluation skills will extend a special quality of assistance to individuals on their journeys toward wholeness. The Clinical Psychology course of study at Fuller melds psychology and theology in clinical practice.
Fuller students benefit from our person-centered approach as well.
The full-time, daytime program allows students to progress through their program as a group. Each student is also assigned a faculty advisor who is a mentor throughout the student's academic studies and doctoral dissertation. This mutual commitment of faculty to student and student to student forms a community that becomes a source of shared faith, knowledge, and friendship. While fostering Christian vision, Fuller aims to develop the highest quality of professional competence. We anticipate that our graduates will become professionals who thoughtfully integrate Christian faith with psychology to address contemporary challenges such as substance abuse, persistent mental illness, neuropsychological disorders, depression, family dysfunction, and posttraumatic stress experienced by relief workers.
