Doctor of Philosophy in Clinical Adolescent Psychology The College of Juvenile Justice & Psychology
at Prairie View A&M University offers graduate courses leading to a Doctor
of Philosophy Degree in Clinical Adolescent Psychology. The educational and training philosophy explicitly
emphasize the scientist/ practitioner model at the doctoral level. Accordingly,
the faculty have designed course work, clinical practica, and other educational
experiences to give students broad exposure to theoretical models, clinical
skills, and professional roles that prepare students for current and future
practice of psychology. The curriculum is organized around competency
areas fundamental to the practice of psychology: theories, relationship,
assessment, intervention, basic science, research and evaluation. Attention to
issues of cultural and individual diversity are an integral part of this
curriculum. Students will demonstrate competencies as they proceed through
course work and clinical practica training. Students will hold a masters degree in psychology.
The curriculum is a four-year, 12-month, full time plan with three years of
course work (including three years of clinical practica), followed by a
year-long internship. To be approved for internship, students must successfully
defend their dissertation. Admission Requirements 1. A baccalaureate degree in psychology or a
