..... We offer doctoral training in clinical psychology,
accredited by the American Psychological Association*, while
simultaneously integrating faith and learning throughout the curriculum.
We train students following the practitioner-scholar
model of training which is also sometimes called the
"Vail" model. The intent of this training is to produce graduates
whose career primarily involves psychological practice. The
Psy.D. program was started in 1996. Our graduates have found
rewarding positions in a wide variety of settings such as
Virginia Medical Centers, University Counseling Centers, private
practice, church-based practices, correctional facilities,
medical institutions and teaching positions at universities.
Ours is an exciting context of study for emerging psychologists
who have passionate and intellectually engaging Christian
faiths. While all students are trained to be generalist-psychologists, our program has developed emphasis areas within the curriculum including marriage and
family, child and adolescent, health psychology, and consulting psychology. In addition,
exciting research opportunities are available on topics such as hope-focused marriage,
virtual therapy for missionaries, military psychology, ADHD and sexual identity, to name a
few. While research is a critical component of the Psy.D. program, there is a purposeful emphasis
on research that focuses on clinical practice.
We welcome you to follow the links to the informational
areas of our web site for further information on the program.
The program handbook and other documents are available for
your review. Be sure to review our degree requirements and our computer requirements.
