Clinical Psychology Program Description
The proposed M.A. in Clinical Psychology degree program will be fully embedded in Stevenson University’s extant Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) in Clinical Psychology degree program, which was approved by MHEC in Spring 2020 and began admitting students in Fall 2021. In other words, only students enrolled in Stevenson’s Psy.D. program are eligible to complete the proposed M.A. degree. Offering students who are enrolled in our Psy.D. program the opportunity to earn a master’s degree on the way to their doctorate will make additional training and employment opportunities available to them while they complete their doctoral program.
