Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program

Part Time Program

There is a limited opportunity for students to matriculate through the program on a part-time basis. Students requesting part-time consideration are accepted on a space available basis. A part time program request must be clearly identified on the application for admission.

Part-time programming requires that the equivalent of the first two years of the full-time program be completed in a maximum of four years. The entire program must be completed within seven years.

In the first two years of the program, part-time students register for a minimum of three academic courses each semester. At least two of these courses each semester must be in preparation for and related to applied experience, (i.e. theory-based or clinically focused courses). Part-time students must enroll in academic coursework only during the initial year. During the second year part-time students must enroll in Clinical Seminar 1, Practicum 1 and at least one additional course each term. The second and third years of part-time programming replicate the enrollment pattern of the first two years. Part-time programming during the internship years requires continuous enrollment in two half-time internships with associated integrated coursework over two consecutive years. Those students who matriculate in a part-time program must consult with Advisors and the Registrar in order to establish an individualized program.

Students who receive an offer of acceptance with a part-time program request may be placed on a waiting list and matriculate in the fall if space is available in the program; a part-time waiting list may remain active until the official term begins.
