Key Summary

About: The Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology program focuses on training students in research methodologies and clinical practices. The course prepares graduates to assess and treat a range of mental disorders while integrating psychological theories and evidence-based practices.

Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue various career paths, including clinical psychologist, academic researcher, or mental health consultant. They may also find roles in healthcare settings, academic institutions, or private practice, engaging in therapy, teaching, or conducting research.

The underlying philosophy of doctoral training in clinical psychology at Loma Linda University (LLU) is to train students/graduates to be, first of all, psychologists who are well-grounded in the theory and science of psychology, who then become practicing clinical psychologists in a variety of settings.

The American Psychological Association accredits the Department of Psychology. Faculty and students are engaged in both non-funded and funded research. Research activities reflect a broad spectrum of interests. The capstone of clinical training is the one year of pre-doctoral internship, to which students must apply. Following graduation, the student must engage in post-doctoral clinical training to become eligible for state licensure.
