Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania PsyD program or Doctor of Psychology. This program will prepare students to work with primarily patients in a therapy setting. PsyD programs earned in Pennsylvania or elsewhere are an superior choice for psychology students who want to further their education on therapeutic practice as opposed to laboratory research. To fulfill your goals of becoming a licensed clinical psychologist, earning a PsyD degree in Pennsylvania will be your first step.

Like any other degree, it is very important that you choose a accredited school in Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania PsyD programs, each having its own special vision, feel and degree requirements. Some programs have residency requirements where students must take a particular number of classes on campus.

Typically, finishing 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.
