The doctoral training program in Clinical Psychology trains students intensively in both clinical skills and research. The program has been accredited by the American Psychological Association since 1970. Ohio University does not offer the master's degree in clinical psychology as a terminal degree, but only as a step toward the Ph.D. degree. The program requirements for all students include coursework, clinical practica, independent research, and an internship. Students complete a wide range of courses and practical training experiences consistent with accreditation requirements of the American Psychological Association for the specialty of clinical psychology with an adult focus. While all students complete intensive, broad-based clinical and research training consistent with this specialty, students can also elect to complete coursework and clinical and research training for major areas of study including clinical child psychology, clinical health psychology, and clinical neuropsychology. Descriptions of training available in each of these elective major areas of study is available in the links above. I
