Virginia PsyD Programs

Virginia PsyD programs offer practice-based curriculum that focuses on the real life experience of being a therapist. The PsyD degree differs from the PhD degree in that the PsyD degree conditions clinicians to work with primarily patients rather than in a research setting. Earning a PsyD degree in Virginia or anywhere else is an excellent choice for psychology students that want to take more practitioner role instead of a scientist/medical role. By enrolling in a PsyD program in Virginia, you are taking the first step to becoming a licensed clinical psychologist.

Many excellent schools in Virginia offer doctorates in psychology. Selecting the one that best fits your needs is your next step. In making your choice, it is very important to earn your degree from an accredited institution with a program that meets the licensing requirements of the state in which you plan to work.

You will find many accredited Virginia 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.
