School of Professional Psychology
At the Pacific University School of Professional Psychology, we emphasize the practical application of scientific psychology while maintaining a high level of scholarly pursuit. Our hallmark is professionalism - our graduates stand out with their ability to leverage research and evidence-based practice to provide culturally appropriate care. When you graduate, you will be prepared to serve as an effective clinician for a wide range of individuals, groups and systems in their communities.
There are two program options within the School: a Master of Arts (M.A.) in Counseling Psychology and a Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) in Clinical Psychology. Psy.D. students will obtain a M.S. on the way to the Psy.D. degree.
Our M.A. in Counseling Psychology program prepares you for licensure as a professional counselor in Oregon through training in evidence-based practices. The Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology program follows a practitioner-scholar model of professional education, with coursework, application and research reflecting our field's latest empirical findings.
With our faculty's broad range of professional interests, our own clinical training facilities and an accredited internship program, you will be ready to launch a satisfying career in practice, teaching or research.
