Our counseling psychology doctoral (PhD) program is APA-accredited. Our program follows the Boulder model for preparing scientist-practitioners, with an emphasis on community engagement and belonging.
The program requires full-time study (9-12 credits per fall/spring semester) and residence in Lexington. Our program includes the completion of a dissertation and a one-year, full-time internship at an APA accredited site, which usually requires relocation to another state. As is typical for counseling psychology PhD programs, our program takes most post-master’s students (who enter the program with an applied mental health master’s degree) five years to complete and most pre-master’s students seven years to complete.
