The clinical psychology program at Auburn University prepares students for professional careers in a variety of settings.
Students receive didactic and experiential training in approaches to assessment and intervention.
Throughout their training, students participate in research in order to develop a firm understanding of the research methods used to study the critical problems that face clinical psychologists. Thus, the graduate program in clinical psychology at Auburn University stresses the importance of a strong empirical basis for applied clinical work. In this way, the program maintains a commitment to the scientist-practitioner model for graduate education in clinical psychology. As East Tennessee State University becomes the university of choice in the state and the region, so does its School of Graduate Studies. The Master of Arts degree is offered with concentrations in either of two areas, clinical or general psychology.
