The Program in Clinical Psychology was initially accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the American Psychological Association in 2000. In 2010 the CoA conferred seven-year full accreditation status to the doctoral program. Our next accreditation site visit is scheduled for 2017.

This program meets the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards/National Register of Health Service Providers in Psychology “Guidelines for Defining ‘Doctoral Degree in Psychology.” Further, we have made every attempt to design the program to comply with all the regulations of the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Psychologists at the time of program admission so that, with completion of an additional one year, full-time post-doctoral fellowship (or its equivalent) students may sit for the state licensing examination in clinical psychology. Therefore, graduates of this designated program who decide to apply for licensing as a psychologist typically will meet the educational requirements for licensing. Please see Appendix F (p. 48) for a listing of courses that have been designed to meet specific Massachusetts licensing requirements. However, in each jurisdiction there are/may be additional requirements that must be satisfied. Further, requirements for licensing do change over time. For exact information about current requirements, please contact the state or provincial licensing board in the jurisdiction in which you plan to apply.

With licensure, graduates are eligible to apply for credentialing as a Health Service Provider in Psychology. Graduation from a designated program ensures that the program completed meets the educational requirements for listing in the National Register. However, there are additional requirements that must be satisfied prior to being listed in the National Register of Health Services Providers in Psychology.
