The basic Psy. D. curriculum is comprised of a required sequence of courses, four elective Advanced Seminars, and two elective Practice Seminars. The Advanced Seminars are taken one each semester during the third and fourth years and the Practice Seminars are taken each semester during the fourth year.
Students also take two to four weekend courses each year.
In line with the social vision of the Doctoral Program, the Professional Seminars, Case Conferences, and Practice Seminars are the primary focal point for individually-focused professional socialization in the doctoral curriculum. This includes mastering the academic materials in each year in a way that promotes reflective professional practice. There is an opportunity for informal clinical and intellectual discussions of students' professional experiences in the context of their personal, role related, and adult developmental issues. The second task is monitoring, facilitating, and evaluating students' clinical work. Under the coordination of the Director of Practica, Professional Seminar and Case Conference leaders are Antioch New England's linkage to training sites for each of their students.
