Midwestern University's Glendale, Arizona, Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology follows a practitioner-scholar model and gives broad and general training in clinical psychology at a healthcare university, where students work alongside other health professions through research forums and community outreach. The program is designed to be completed in four years: full-time students take three years of coursework while completing a two-quarter clerkship, which starts in the winter quarter of the first year, and two years of practicum, 16 to 24 hours a week at a program-approved field site with an on-campus seminar, followed by a 2,000-hour predoctoral internship over 12 months full time or 24 months part time. Students pass a comprehensive examination and a qualifying examination, which marks entry into doctoral candidacy, and, under a faculty committee's guidance, defend a dissertation proposal and later present an oral defense of the finished project. A five-year plan adds a year of practicum, and the optional five-year Neuropsychology and Health Psychology concentrations add coursework, practica at specialty sites and a dissertation in the area; students apply to either concentration in their first year.
Applicants need a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college or university, a cumulative GPA of at least 3.00 and 18 semester hours of prerequisite psychology coursework with grades of B- or better; GRE general test scores are optional. Qualified applicants are invited to group interviews with faculty, staff and students, and the program has a priority application deadline of December 10 and a standard deadline of March 31, with later applications considered on a rolling basis. Practicum sites include 100 field placements in the greater Phoenix, Arizona, area, among them medical centers, psychiatric and veterans hospitals, prisons and other forensic settings, and the Midwestern University Multispecialty Clinic. Up to 40 quarter hours of earlier graduate coursework may be considered for transfer credit, though never for practicum or internship, and the school says graduates of the designated program typically meet the jurisdictional educational requirements for licensing; licensure itself is granted by each state's board.
