In cooperation with Hahnemann University of Health Sciences in Center City Philadelphia, the School of Law offers an integrated program in law and psychology leading to a J.D. from Villanova and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Hahnemann. The program is the only one in the country with a Ph.D. emphasis in clinical psychology. The conceptually unified program prepares professionals with a mature understanding of the interaction between the two disciplines. Students take courses in both institutions each year, but the emphasis in the first year is on law, and in the second year, on psychology.
Time is evenly divided in subsequent years.
The J.D. is awarded at the end of the sixth year.
