专业概况

The program in Clinical Psychology is designed to prepare students for further study at the doctoral level or for post-M.A. employment in settings offering psychological services or engaging in research. Based on the scientist-practitioner model, the program is designed to help students acquire core competencies in producing and consuming clinical research through coursework and supervised research opportunities, and to develop requisite skills to provide psychological service across community, hospital, and forensic settings. Graduates are admitted into doctoral programs in Clinical and Counseling Psychology or work in applied clinical or research positions.

The Clinical specialization at Cleveland State is a terminal master's degree program because the department does not currently offer a doctoral degree program in Clinical Psychology. Upon receipt of the Master's degree in Clinical Psychology, graduates often apply to doctoral programs at other institutions. Graduates may also elect to work as a psychology assistant under the supervision of a doctoral-level, licensed psychologist. Psychology assistants work in hospital, forensic, or clinical settings and engage in assessment, treatment and research activities.

The Clinical specialization offers two tracks of study to accommodate the interests of students:

Doctoral preparation track, which requires the completion of a research (typically, data-based) thesis; and Practitioner track, which allows students more flexibility in elective coursework.

Each track requires the student to complete a 50 credit hour program of coursework and clinical field experiences. The program requires full-time study for two academic years. No courses are offered during the summer, though students in the doctoral preparation track frequently work on their theses during the summer between the first and second years of the program.

Both tracks emphasize core content and basic skills in the first year, and practical experience and professional skills in the second year. The curriculum emphasizes human development and its deviations, as well as the methods and techniques of assessing and influencing this development in clinical contexts.

CAREER INFORMATION

Graduates of the Clinical Psychology specialization typically are employed as psychology assistants in such work settings as hospitals, mental health centers or clinics, private practice, human service agencies, industrial settings, and geriatric facilities. Primary functions include assessment, consultation, and administration. Approximately half of the graduates of this specialization continue on to pursue doctoral degrees in clinical psychology (Ph.D. or Psy.D.), counseling psychology, or related fields.
