We offer a carefully integrated program which, we believe, is the best way to train practicing psychologists to become effective clinicians and psychological service providers.
Students train in a wide variety of institutional and community settings with diverse populations.
We believe that providing high quality psychological service is a tremendous challenge requiring a solid background, years of supervised experience, and a keen awareness of oneself. MSPP students engage in clinical practice from the first semester to the last, training in well-supervised field placements. Academic courses integrate a broad foundation of psychological theory, current clinical practices, and the social, cultural, and historical contexts of the field. We strive to provide a safe, comfortable, yet challenging learning environment. Specific academic courses provide a forum in which students reflect upon and learn from clinical work experience.
