The Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology (Psy.D.) program adheres to the school-professional model of education, emphasizing the preparation of students for professional practice through the integration of a comprehensive knowledge base, and sound clinical skills. Loyola is committed to training its doctoral students to become innovative leaders in the field able to meet the changing demands in mental health services. In November of 2000, the program received accreditation from the American Psychological Association. The Psy.D. program is a full-time course of training. Students who are admitted to the program with a Bachelor's degree complete four years of study and a full-time internship. Students entering the program with a Master's degree complete three years of study as well as the internship. The course of study for all students integrates academic coursework, field placement experience, and dissertation project. Required coursework is primarily offered during the fall and spring semesters, from September to May. Students are involved in other aspects of their training, such as dissertation work and comprehensive exams during the summer months. The following curricular offerings, which may vary over time, demonstrate the commitment of the department to providing a strong theoretical knowledge base, while preparing students to perform services as autonomous practitioners. All courses are offered at Loyola's beautiful Evergreen Campus in Baltimore.
