Fielding Graduate University

The need for clinical psychologists is expected to grow 15% by 2016, faster than most other professions. Clinical psychologists fulfill important needs for psychological services in clinics, hospitals, prisons, schools, industry and the military.  Each day, clinical psychologists promote growth and change toward healthy and productive living.

With our Clinical Psychology doctoral program, you take advantage of a distributed delivery of many program components while working toward your goal of becoming a clinical psychologist with our program accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA).  (APA Commission on Accreditation, 750 First St. NE, Washington, DC  20002, 202.336.5959)

You benefit from collaborative, competency-based learning and assessment, as well as flexible scheduling to accommodate the many life-demands and constraints you experience.  As a Fielding student, you are part of a challenging, dynamic and diverse community of faculty, as well as student and alumni colleagues.  

You join a “cluster” of highly qualified, adult students led by the faculty advisor in your geographic area, who will be your mentor throughout your time in the program.  This community brings a rich diversity of prior learning and professional experience with backgrounds in psychology and many students have experience as therapists and counselors.

Our faculty and alumni are active scholars and practitioners who are nationally recognized and published in their professional areas of specialization.   Although we espouse a generalist training model, our faculty members have academic and clinical credentials in all three of the major theoretical orientations — cognitive-behavioral, psychoanalytic, and humanistic.  This allows us to offer concentrations in:

• Neuropsychology
• Parent-Infant Mental Health
• Health Psychology
• Violence Prevention and Control
• Forensic Psychology
