The Psy.D. in Applied Assessment and Consulting is a first professional degree program
that educates psychologists in the application of psychological theory, measurement theory,
assessment techniques, research methods, and quantitative skills to the assessment,
evaluation and development of organizations.
The psychologist with a Psy.D. in Applied Assessment and Consulting works
autonomously as an internal or external consultant to assist private and public sector
employers in assessing and improving their organizational functioning. The Psy.D. in
Applied Assessment and Consulting provides practitioners with the skills to measure individual
and organization performance by using methodologies common to all sub-disciplines
of psychology while implementing behavioral change techniques found in both
industrial/organizational and clinical/counseling psychology. These assessments are used to
evaluate accountability and to develop and implement programs designed to increase organizational
effectiveness.
