精东影业Adult Clinical Specialty is designed to provide students with foundational knowledge in the field of clinical psychology.
Faculty research in the adult clinical psychology area at 精东影业 has three central foci:
Coursework in the Adult Clinical Specialty is designed to provide students with foundational knowledge in the field of clinical psychology. Consequently, students complete the course requirements for the clinical training program. Students seeking to further develop their quantitative skills have the opportunity to participate in our Department's strong quantitative psychology minor.
Research training is designed to develop students into highly skilled adult clinical psychology scientists. Graduate students are actively involved in research throughout their training. Across faculty members, there is a strong track record of extramural funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Students are encouraged to become involved in undergraduate teaching. During the beginning of the 3rd year, students are enrolled in a teaching seminar and, with the supervision of a faculty member, teach one or several undergraduate courses.
