It's Your Education, Make an Informed Choice.

The PsyD specialization in clinical psychology provides learners with comprehensive clinical training including psychopathology, psychological testing, and psychotherapy. Because this area is ultimately designed for state licensure eligibility* as a clinical psychologist, it is a very rigorous program that requires online course work, residency, and field training experience. Doctoral graduates typically pursue a career as an independent clinical psychologist, but may also pursue careers in teaching, research, program administration, or consulting. This specialization will prepare you for state licensure eligibility as a clinical psychologist.

At Capella University we encourage you to follow your professional passion in your doctoral studies. During preparation of your comprehensives and research to choosing the topic for your dissertation, faculty and mentors maintain close contact to provide individualized guidance.
