Program administration and structure

Housed within 国产传媒’s psychology department, the PsyD’s administrative arm consists of an independent program director who answers directly to the department’s chair. Under the program director, the PsyD has its own core faculty, separate from other undergraduate and master’s programs within the psychology department. All core faculty have either PhDs or PsyDs, and are experts in their relative pedagogical, training, research, and clinical practice areas. Several faculty are also licensed psychologists in the state of California.

The PsyD’s programmatic governance is overseen by the program director and includes the PsyD core faculty. These individuals are responsible for the following within the program: admissions; advisement; student policies and handbooks; course development that is aligned with APA guidelines and 国产传媒’s graduate learning goals; preparation for clinical training; professional development; program assessment; and teaching, scholarship, and research. Additionally, the PsyD program director and core faculty oversee faculty hiring, reviews and evaluations and mentorship and teaching development.
