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 related social science discipline with a 3.0 GPA.

2. A masters degree in psychology with a 3.5 GPA.
