Students entering at the beginning level must devote a minimum of three years of full-time study, plus one year of an approved internship, to be eligible for the doctor of psychology (Psy.D.) degree. The university requires a minimum of 72 credits of graduate coursework. The two programs within the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology have additional requirements listed as electives or requirements in the model program charts in the Academic Programs chapter. Finally, each program requires a specific number of clock hours of preinternship practicum placement supervision.
While students with prior training entering at an advanced level may be exempted from courses when their backgrounds justify this, departments require some courses for all students.
