The doctoral training program in Clinical Psychology at Fordham University was first accredited by the American Psychological Association in 1948; the first year that APA accreditation began. The clinical program would like to direct inquiries into the accreditation status of the program to the Committee on Accreditation, 750 First Street NE, Washington, DC 20002 (202-336-5979). Fordham has been successfully training clinical psychologists for more than half a century. Our "Boulder" model scientist-practitioner program prepares students for practice, research, and teaching in clinical psychology. The department intentionally maintains a theoretically diverse faculty and admits students whose theoretical orientations are equally diverse. The clinical and research training provided are correspondingly diverse in theoretical orientation.
Our aim is to broadly prepare students for multiple careers in psychology. The department endorses empirically supported treatments as detailed at the following web site:
www.apa.org/divisions/div12/est/est.html.
Students are admitted to the Clinical Program within the Psychology Department rather than to a faculty member's lab. Students need not declare which faculty member will be their academic and/or research advisor as part of the admissions process but are free to select the faculty members most able to direct the research interest they cultivate during their first year. Students are free to work with another faculty member on their doctoral dissertation should they choose to do so.
