Program Overview
- Program Description:
Our two fully APA accredited clinical psychology programs offer a combination of traditional and innovative training opportunities. The clinical psychology programs are: (1) the PhD program which follows the traditional scientist-practitioner model, and (2) the PsyD program which is more oriented toward clinical practice. The underlying philosophy of doctoral training in clinical psychology at LLU emphasizes that its students/graduates will be, first of all, psychologists who are well-grounded in the theory and science of psychology, then going on to become and function as clinical psychologists in a variety of settings. The comprehensive mission of the clinical psychology programs is to provide its students with the cumulative experiences necessary for them to become • scientifically oriented • thoroughly ethical, intensively trained, and highly skilled psychologists • well prepared as professionals (academicians, researchers, consultants, supervisors, or clinicians) in the discipline of psychology in the twenty-first century, particularly in the health-related fields and within the context of a holistic approach to human health and welfare.
