A student’s area of research typically corresponds to his or her supervisor’s research area. Students complete all clinical course requirements below. Each track requires a minimum of four area courses; two completed at the MA level and two at the PhD level. Students are advised to consult with their supervisor and/or the Director of Clinical Training regarding recommended or required courses.
Students are required to participate in Clinical Area research seminars (PSYC 912) throughout their MA and PhD programs.
Master's Program
Students must complete PSYC 744, 819, 820A, 820B, 821A, 821B, 822, 823, 824, 880 (Junior Practicum), 910, 911, 895, 898, and two Area courses. In addition, clinical students are required to enroll in and achieve satisfactory performance in PSYC 825 (Clinical Practice) in each semester of the M.A. program. Students are permitted to register in PhD coursework with permission of the director of clinical training and/or the clinical program committee. We encourage students to prioritize the completion of their M.A. thesis.

Comprehensive Exams
Comprehensive exams focus on core areas of knowledge and practice in clinical psychology. Students complete comprehensive exams at the end of each of the required core clinical courses [Psychopathology (PSYC 744), Personality (PSYC 770), Psychological Assessment I (PSYC 820A), Psychological Assessment II (PSYC 820B), Psychological Intervention I (PSYC 822), Psychological Intervention II (PSYC 823), Research Issues in Psychology (PSYC 824), Ethics and Professional Issues (PSYC 819)]. These examinations occur in written and/or oral format (per instructor discretion), and performance at a B-level or above is required to receive a passing mark. For all courses except PSYC 819, performance in the comprehensive exam contributes to the student’s grade in the course. Most commonly, students take the comprehensive oral exam in ethics in the weeks following PSYC 819. Following the satisfactory completion of all comprehensive exam requirements, Ph.D. students will be registered in PSYC 999 and given a satisfactory mark. Satisfactory completion of comprehensive examinations is a prerequisite for application for predoctoral residency/internship.
