The Graduate School of Professional Psychology has offered a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (PsyD) since 1976. It was one of the first PsyD programs in the nation and has been continuously accredited by the American Psychological Association since 1979. The mission of the PsyD program is to train doctoral-level practitioner/scholars who have foundational interpersonal and scientific skills, a functional mastery of psychological assessment and intervention, and can apply this knowledge and skill in a range of settings.

We aim to train psychologists who contribute to the common good through their interpersonal awareness and skill. Students graduate from GSPP as psychologists with a solid grounding in psychology's scientific, ethical and professional foundations, with skills in assessment and intervention that can be applied to many contexts and communities.
