The Doctor of Psychology Degree. The Psy. D. degree signifies completion of a course of studies designed to train direct-service practitioners for state or provincial licensure in professional psychology. The Psy.D. is a newer professional degree , which more adequately reflects scientifically based professional training in applied psychology than does the traditional academic-research orientation of the Ph.D. While students receive training in basic research methods sufficient to allow effective utilization of available knowledge in professional practice, greater emphasis in the Psy.D. program is placed upon direct clinical experience. Dissertation topics for the Psy.D. degree may be chosen with greater flexibility in clinical-professional areas than is typical for the Ph.D. The Psy.D. requires approximately five years of full-time study, including both an approved one year clinical internship and a dissertation. Psy.D. students must complete a minimum of 94 semester units in psychology, of which 21 units must be selected from elective psychotherapy courses, and 18 units of practicum. Also required is a minimum of 20 semester units in theology, 9 units in the integration of psychology and theology, and 8 units of dissertation research. The intermediate Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology is awarded in progress toward the Psy.D. following completion of a minimum of 36 semester hours in psychology and 9 semester hours in theology, with at least one year of resident graduate work at Rosemead. Requirements also include completion of (1) a Preliminary Oral Interview prior to full admission to doctoral study; (2) successful completion of the Comprehensive Examinations; (3) a clinical Professional Qualifying Examination ; and (4) a final Oral Defense of the dissertation. Each student in the Psy.D. program is required to participate in a minimum of 50 hours of group therapy and a minimum of 50 hours of individual didactic therapy. Maximum transfer credit allowable is 30 hours in psychology from accredited graduate schools and 15 hours in theology from accredited theological schools. The Doctor of Philosophy Degree.
