Program Description
The Graduate Program in Clinical Psychology is based on the scientist-practitioner model of training. The clinical faculty are committed to integrating theory, research, and clinical practice in educating students. Our goal is to train highly competent clinical psychologists who will obtain high quality, APA-approved internships and, upon graduation, make positive contributions to the field of clinical psychology.  Such contributions occur in academic, research, medical, clinical, or community settings depending upon a student’s own interests and goals.  Hence, we provide broad, general clinical training for students during their 4-5 years at WSU. Areas of both research and clinical emphases within our program include: adult psychopathology, behavioral medicine, clinical child and family psychology, and neuropsychology. Our program is fully accredited by the American Psychological Association.
