The PsyD program enrolls eight students each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To earn a PsyD at 橘子视频, students must satisfactorily complete a minimum of 112 credits of coursework (a minimum of one year, 12 continuous months of full-time coursework must be done in residency at Georgia Southern) and three years of practicum assignments, pass the Clinical Qualifying Examination (CQE) (written and oral components), complete a dissertation and complete a 12-month (2000-hour) clinical internship. The dissertation proposal and CQE must be defended before the student may apply for an internship. The standard timeline for completion of the PsyD is five years (including the 12-month internship).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although academic background, intellectual potential and professional experience and skills will be key selection criteria, we intend to recruit students who are committed to providing service with predominantly rural and underserved populations. Therefore, students should carefully consider their interest in rural and underserved populations before applying to the program. Applicants will only be considered for admission to the PsyD program (i.e., students will not be admitted for a terminal master\u2019s degree in clinical psychology).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Transfer of graduate courses from other institutions: <\/strong>Students may receive credit for graduate courses taken at a regionally accredited institution during the last five years. A maximum of 18 hours of graduate-level coursework is allowed. All decisions on exempted courses lie with the Clinical Training Committee and require any student desiring course transfer to provide documentation (e.g., syllabi, tests, and grades) from the previous course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Credit will not be given for clinical courses, with the exception of Assessment I: Psychometric Theory (PSYC 7231) and Assessment II: Intellectual Assessment (PSYC 7234).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students wishing to be exempted from or to transfer in these courses must demonstrate proficiency as determined by the Clinical Training Committee. Course equivalencies will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Any course deficiencies will need to be completed with attention to course sequences and prerequisites before a degree can be awarded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Part-time admission: <\/strong>The PsyD program is designed to be a full-time program completed in five years. However, we realize some students may desire to do a portion of the program part-time. Students may be admitted to the program with part-time status. The following criteria must be met:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Students must apply via the same admission procedures as full-time students;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Students can only begin the program in the Fall semester; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Students must be admitted with a minimum of 18 hours of course credit in non-clinical courses (i.e., they must enter the program with the maximum amount of transfer credit).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once admitted, part-time students must:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Enroll in a minimum of six credit hours of coursework each semester;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be enrolled in the program every semester, unless a Leave of Absence is granted;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enroll in necessary co-requisite courses when they are required;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enroll in Foundations of Psychotherapy I, II, and Group Psychotherapy (PSYC 7232, 7433, and 7235) in consecutive semesters;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Switch to full-time enrollment (minimum nine credit hours per semester) for at least one full year to meet the residency requirement; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complete the PsyD program within the eight-year time limit allowed for all students.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Contact Information<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>C.

Each state\/province has unique requirements to obtain licensure, but all require a doctoral degree in the field and a record of taking the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP \u2014 passing scores vary by jurisdiction). Some jurisdictions have other requirements, such as state jurisprudence exams, and most require supervised clinical practice after the doctoral degree is awarded (postdoctoral training). In addition, some states require a degree from an APA-accredited program. The PsyD program at 橘子视频 is accredited by the APA.
