This collaboration benefits our students by giving them access to the full range of expertise in the department. Students are free to take elective courses in the Clinical and Experimental graduate programs, and may work with any of the 28 faculty members in the department on their thesis or dissertation, as well as in teaching and research assistantships. This cooperation among programs allows our students to pursue a wide variety of interests, gives added flexibility in achieving individual professional goals, and gives a great deal of potential breadth to students training. The high quality internship placements and the quality and diversity of our graduates initial and current job placements indicates that our program does a good job of preparing students for positions in a variety of settings. No special application is required for financial assistance.
Support is guaranteed to all first year students.
Also, our policy is to try to support every student we accept for four years of graduate study. We have successfully done this for the last 25 years, and are optimistic that we can continue to do so in the future. Students typically complete the program in four years and are on internship during their fifth year of graduate study. All of our students have obtained funded internships in the past. Consequently, students generally can expect to be supported throughout their graduate study in our program.
