Overview

Although rooted in the Boulder Model, the Clinical Psychology program at University of Kansas emphasizes a Clinical Science approach to graduate training.

Features

We believe that competent clinical practitioners must understand, appreciate, and apply the science associated with effective clinical interventions, and that competent clinical researchers must have first-hand experience with clinical disorders that is both broad and in-depth.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

We have a long and proud tradition of training leaders in the field of psychology.

Our first class entered in 1946, a few years before KU participated at the original Boulder Conference that defined the Scientist-Practitioner training model.

Although we have moved to a more focused clinical science approach, our history is strongly rooted in the Boulder Model.

Training in the program starts broadly with foundational courses and experiences in research, data analysis, psychological assessment, and theory and methods of psychotherapy, and narrows in subsequent years to allow for more specialization within student’s area of interest.

Coursework and requirements are designed to be completed in 4-5 years, followed by a yearlong internship.
