development of a strong knowledge base and sensitivity to cultural and individual differences, and the attainment of the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to become ethical and professional clinical psychologists. Admission Requirements An applicant must possess a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution of higher learning. Although it is not necessary for the major area to have been psychology, it is expected that those entering without a previous degree in psychology will have completed at least 18 credit hours of psychology coursework at the time of application. These courses must have been taken in a department of psychology, and should include statistics, personality theory, abnormal psychology, learning, physiological psychology and social psychology. All application materials must be received by January 15. The application and application fee should be received by the university before receipt of reference letters and transcripts, so the applicant’s file can be established. Applications cannot be acted on until all required materials have been received. Applicants may apply online at www.fit.edu. All applicants are required to submit the completed graduate school application form with the application fee and the psychology supplemental form (forms are available from the College of Psychology and Liberal Arts); a résumé of professional experience; a statement of professional career objectives; three letters of recommendation from psychologists familiar with the applicant’s academic and/or clinical work, to be mailed directly by the recommenders (forms are available from the College of Psychology and Liberal Arts); official undergraduate and graduate record transcripts, sent directly from the degree-granting institutions; and Graduate Record Examination General Test and Psychology Subject Test results. Please plan to take the GRE early enough to allow test results to be reported by January 15. Results may take up to six weeks to be reported by the Educational Testing Service. Attendance at the Open House/Interview Day is recommended. After acceptance, a signed statement that, if admitted, the student will comply with the professional conduct requirements of the clinical psychology degree program must also be submitted. Degree Requirements To receive the doctoral degree, the candidate must have been a matriculated student in full-time residence at the school for a minimum of four years (eight semesters and three summer terms). This period represents the minimum of attendance to complete the course requirements. In addition to these years of coursework, the internship requires an additional year for completion. To obtain an approved internship, students must make application and be accepted at one of the many APA-accredited internship training facilities located throughout the country. A student admitted to the doctoral program is awarded the master of science degree when the following 36 credit hours are successfully completed and when the student has successfully completed the Clinical Proficiency Examination (CPE): PSY 5101 Statistical Research Methods 1 ............................................... 3 PSY 5102 Statistical Research Methods 2 ............................................... 3 PSY 5105 Biological Foundations of Behavior ......................................... 3 PSY 5121 Cultural and Social Psychology ............................................... 3 PSY 5501 Personality and Psychotherapy ................................................ 3 PSY 5502 Psychopathology ...................................................................... 3 PSY 5521 Assessment of Intelligence ...................................................... 3 PSY 5522 Laboratory in Assessment of Intelligence ................................ 1 176 Florida Tech PSY 5524 Laboratory in Assessment of Personality ................................. 1 PSY 5527 Objective Personality Assessment ........................................... 3 PSY 5528 Projective Personality Assessment ........................................... 3 PSY 5541 Clinical Skills and Techniques 1 ............................................. 3 PSY 5542 Clinical Skills and Techniques 2 ............................................. 3 PSY 5591 Seminar in Professional Standards and Ethical Principles in Psychology ............................................. 1 All requirements for the doctoral degree must be completed no later than seven years from the date of first attendance. No more than 12 credit hours of Doctoral Research Project (PSY 6998) may be counted toward the doctoral degree. A student who completed graduate work at another accredited university can petition for transfer of a maximum of 18 semester credits. Such requests are evaluated by the program chair. Transfers are not granted for the core clinical specialization courses listed in the curriculum description. A student receiving a grade of C in a required course may be required to repeat the course and attain a grade of B or better. All grades will enter into the grade point average, but only credit hours from the final repeat will be credited toward the minimum credit hour requirement. Requirements for the Psy.D. degree include: 1. A minimum of 121 semester hours of credit beyond the bachelor’s degree, including the required courses described in the curriculum section below. 2. A minimum of four years of full-time residency: eight semesters and three summer terms. Full-time status is defined as nine or more credit hours. 3. Admission to candidacy requires the successful completion of the following three components: a. Clinical proficiency examination (CPE). At the completion of nine practicum-related credit hours, the clinical faculty of the School of Psychology makes an assessment of student progress in clinical skill development. This CPE contains numerous components, including a written conceptualization and treatment plan of the videotaped case and an oral presentation and defense of the case. b. Second year student review. At the end of the second year, the clinical faculty reviews all students across a number of personal and interpersonal dimensions, which are directly tied to their ability to function as professional psychologists. c. Satisfactory academic progress. A 3.2 grade point average, computed on the basis of all university coursework applied to the doctoral program, is required for admission to candidacy. 4. Written comprehensive examination. At the end of the third year of study, all students are required to take and pass a written comprehensive examination. The examination includes both in-class and take-home components, and covers the core academic and clinical areas of psychology. 5. Completion of the doctoral research project. An internship consisting of 2,000 clock hours of supervised 6. experience in an internship facility accredited by the American Psychological Association to offer clinical training. This placement provides the trainee with the opportunity to take substantial responsibility for carrying out the major professional functions with appropriate supervisory support. Liaison between the Office of Clinical Training and the internship facility is maintained.
Curriculum The curriculum for the doctor of psychology program consists of four levels of training, as summarized below. Basic science, research and assessment coursework occupy the early terms of residence and flow into intervention and practicum work that occupies the later terms of residence. Level I (Beginning): This level corresponds to the first year of training following the bachelor’s degree. It consists of basic science courses designed to develop a broad conceptual understanding of the theoretical foundations for clinical practice and entry-level relationship, assessment and intervention skills. Basic relationship building and assessment skills are developed and the student is introduced to one of a number of different models of intervention. All students will begin their practicum work by shadowing faculty and advanced students. Level II (Intermediate): This level corresponds to the second residence year in the program. Didactic work consists of more advanced examinations of broad-based conceptual foundations, further development of assessment and intervention strategies, and beginning and intermediate practicum placements. Students begin to formulate research ideas for the doctoral research project (DRP). Areas of concentration are begun. Most students will complete their Clinical Proficiency Examination. Level III (Advanced): This level corresponds to the third residence year in the program. Assessment, intervention and evaluation skills are fine-tuned during this year and are put into practical use in advanced practicum assignments. Systems of case conceptualization are reviewed and related to assessment and intervention strategies. Coursework in the competency area of administration is taken, comprehensive examinations are completed and students continue with their areas of concentration or add elective courses. Level IV (Advanced Specialty): This level corresponds to the fourth year in the program. During this year, students complete coursework in the competency areas of supervision and consultation, finish their areas of concentration with specialized practica, obtain more field experience in advanced practica and/or take more electives. Students also complete their DRP and work toward securing internships for their last year. Each semester has a 13-credit limit, and tuition is paid on a flat rate basis. After the first semester of enrollment, students may exceed the 13-credit limit in any semester by taking only a one- or two-credit non-required course. The course may either be taken for credit (and paid at the graduate-level credit rate) or audited (and paid at the audit rate). Elective Concentration Areas The program offers four elective concentration areas. Each area includes 12 credit hours of coursework and practica and is designed to prepare the student for advanced study during the internship and postdoctoral years.
