https://catalog.shsu.edu/graduate-and-professional/college-departments/humanities-social-sciences/psychology-philosophy/clinical-psychology-phd/
The Clinical Psychology Ph.D. program seeks to train professionals with a broad knowledge of scientific psychology who will be skilled clinicians. The program’s educational philosophy is to produce scientist/practitioners who possess expertise in both research and clinical practice. The department believes that experience in applied settings produces scientists who are sensitive to pragmatic issues and who are on the cutting edge of research questions essential to practitioners in the field. Conversely, clinicians who have been trained as scientists understand emerging research and incorporate new findings into their daily practice. The program uses a mentor model by which students are accepted to work with a particular member of the faculty for their degree-required research. All students are required to complete a dissertation and to be enrolled full-time. The demands of the program’s training are not amenable to part-time or weekend course schedules. With limited exceptions, all coursework is offered in person.
