Please describe your department / program and its mission.
The Clinical Psychology doctoral program at Texas Tech is interested in training students who value
the scientist-practitioner model. The Clinical Program admits students who have an interest both in
conducting research and in doing clinical work. Given this, our Program is not a good match for those
solely interested either in research or in seeing clients. Our training program has an equal emphasis
on the science and practitioner aspects of becoming a clinical psychologist. Although a Psychology
major is not required at the undergraduate level, the vast majority of our graduate students have a
Psychology major and take courses such as Research Methods, Statistics, and Abnormal
Psychology as undergraduate students.
What is your current review time-line?
We will next be reviewed in 2020. This past review cycle we got the maximum years of
re-accreditation.
Additional notes regarding current standing:
