The PsyD in clinical psychology provides learners with comprehensive clinical training including psychopathology, psychological testing, and psychotherapy. Because this area is designed to prepare learners for state licensure eligibility as a clinical psychologist,* it is a very rigorous program that requires online course work, residency, and field training experiences. Doctoral graduates typically pursue careers as independent clinical psychologists, but may also pursue careers in teaching, research, program administration, or consulting.
