Consumer Information Disclosure

The practice of psychology is regulated at the state level. State licensing authorities, commonly referred to as “State Boards,确定其所在州对执照的具体教育和培训要求. The U.S. 教育部要求所有为学生准备可能获得执照的课程必须披露他们的课程是否足以满足所有州的执照要求. Of note, 许多州要求博士后培训/临床时数以及在博士学位之后完成的考试,因此超出了博士教育和培训的要求. As such, a Ph.D. degree from our program is not sufficient, in and of itself, to meet licensure requirements in most states. However, 我们下面的披露将表明我们的计划是否符合所有州的教育执照要求.   

If you are planning to pursue professional licensure or certification, 强烈建议您在开始学术课程之前联系您正在寻求许可或认证的州的适当许可实体,以获取有关许可或认证要求的信息和指导. 鉴于各州对许可证或认证的要求各不相同,并且可能随着时间的推移而变化,因此强烈建议您在接近寻求许可证或认证时查看许可证或认证要求. 我们鼓励您查看州和省心理委员会协会(ASPPB)在线工具, PsyBook (http://www.asppb.net/page/psybook), which summarizes requirements for most states and territories. 我们还鼓励您直接与您有兴趣寻求许可证或认证的州确认州许可要求. 

Based on information provided by ASPPB, 我们已经确定我们目前符合所有州和D的教育要求.C. except California (we do not offer a course in alcoholism/chemical dependency detection and intervention; in addition, 学生应该仔细检查通过我们的实践/实习或实习获得执照前的经验,以满足加利福尼亚州和新泽西州要求的其他特殊主题的最少接触时间(我们不提供足够的人格理论学分)。. 对于我们项目的教育产品不符合特定州对执照或认证的要求的州, students may be required to obtain alternate, different, or more courses, or more experiential or clinical hours required.
