The doctoral program in Clinical-Community Psychology is a science-based program in which students learn about the social, interpersonal, and intrapersonal factors that affect people's well being and quality of life. The program is accredited by the American Psychological Association as a doctoral training program in Clinical Psychology. Students in our program learn to think about psychological well being at the individual, family, and community levels. Our students work with faculty to create new scientific knowledge that directly or indirectly informs social policies, social service work, and clinical practice. Students develop skills in how to enhance people's well being, prevent undesirable conditions, and treat conditions after they develop through training in psychological practice (e.g., assessment, intervention). Our unique blend of training in Clinical and Community Psychology places a particular emphasis on understanding social/ecological factors. For example, understanding the multiple layers of social influence on people's lives, and how social factors interact with personality, cognitions, and emotions to shape our experiences. See the program description page for a more detailed discussion of our program's focus. Students can apply the skills they develop to a wide range of careers, but often seek careers involving academic research, clinical practice, the creation and/or administration of social service programs, or consultation work with organizations.
