Missouri PsyD Programs

Psychology degree graduates that are interested in the therapy side of things instead of academia and not in research setting may enroll in a Missouri PsyD program or Doctor of Psychology. This program will prepare students to work with primarily patients in a therapy setting. Psychology students that want to further their education without an MD degree (psychiatry) can attend a PsyD program in Missouri. This will allow students to treat entirely in behavior and mental health. Earning your doctor of psychology is the first step towards fulfilling your career and personal goals of becoming a licensed clinical psychologist.

Like any other degree, it is very important that you choose a accredited school in Missouri for your Doctor of Psychology degree. Accreditation shows that the PsyD school has gone through evaluation and have met all standards usually by a multi-state or national agency.

You will find many accredited Missouri PsyD programs, each having its own proper vision, feel and degree requirements. Some programs have residency requirements where students must take a particular number of classes on campus.

Typically, completing your doctor of psychology degree takes 4-7years, depending on how quickly you complete classes. Some of the required classes may include abnormal psychology, biological psychology, research methods, ethics, psychological testing, theory, practicum, internship and a dissertation.
