DEGREES OFFERED Master of Arts
A master's degree is awarded as a student progresses in his or her doctoral program. All other exceptions for a master 's degree must be approved on an individual·basis. Doctor of Psychology and Doctor of Philosophy Rosemead 's doc toral program in clinical psychology is designed primari ly to train practitioners in professional psy chology. In contrast to the tradi tional scientist-professional model of train ing that is designed to train researchers or clinicians with strong research interests, Rosemead's doctoral program is designed for students interested in pur suing careers in applied areas of clinical psychology. While all students receive traini ng in the basic areas of scientific psychology relevan t to the practice of psy chology, the focus of Rosemead's doc toral training is on the development of professional skills and the utiliza tion of theory and research in professional prac tice. Within this focus students may se lect either the Psy.D. or the Ph.D. track. Approximately 75% of Rosemead's stu dents are enrolled in the Psy.D. track and 25% in the Ph.D. Except in unusual cir cumstances, students do not change tracks after admission. While both the Psy.D. and Ph.D. track have a common core of basic sci ence and clin ical co urses, students selecti ng Rosemead's Psy. D. track are generally preparing for full -time posi tions as psychologica l practitioners. Those choosing Rosemead's Ph.D. track are in terested in combining cli ni cal work with other psychological compe tencies, such as teaching and research. Although Rosemead's Ph.D. program has more of a research focus than the Psy.D. program, it does not place the pri mary emphasis on the development of research skills to the extent that most sci entist-practitioner Ph .D. programs do. The program does not have the breadth and depth of research emphases for stu dents who desire to become the type of clinical researchers whose on ly use of clinical skills occur in the context of doing research. However, research training in Rosemead's Ph .D. program is strong in a few selected areas of ongoing faculty research. Thus the Ph.D. track is particularly appropria te fo r students who desire both to develop qual ity clini cal skills and to develop research skills closelyrelated to a faculty member's cur rentlyactive research program.

can Psychological Association. Training Models in Clinical Psychology
In the past 20 years there has been a great deal of discussion and debate bypsychologists over appropriate train ing models and degrees in clinical psy chology. During the I950s and I960s, most doctoral training in psychology followed the scientist professional model and culminated in the awarding of the Ph.D: These programs were designed to train scientifically oriented researchers and professionals. During the I960s and 1970s the need for training programs with stronger pro fessional orientations became apparent. Institutions like the University of Illinois, the California School of Professional Psy chology, the University of Denver, Baylor Un iversity, Rutgers University and the Rosemead Graduate School of Psychology were among the first to offer programs designed explicitly to provide doctoral training fo llowing either a professional (practitioner) or a professional-scientist (practitioner-oeientist) model of training. Withou t rej ect ing the need for training in the basic science areas of psychology, these programs began plac ing proportionately greater emphasis on the professional aspects of training. After two decades of discussion, debate and innovation , graduate training pro grams in clinical psychology now cover a broad range of emphasis from highly professional to highly scientific. Rosemead 's doctoral program fo l lows a professional-scientist model of training with applicants selecting either the Psy.D. or the Ph .D. track depending on their vocational and training interests.
