Program Overview

The Counseling Psychology Doctorate is designed to build on previous training in psychology and prepare professionals for a variety of work settings, such as university counseling centers, community mental health clinics, correctional facilities, schools and hospitals.

  • Demonstrate competence in diagnosing or defining problems through assessment and implementing effective intervention strategies
  • Identify and understand individual and cultural differences
