Overview

Rosemead’s Doctor of Psychology in clinical psychology program equips psychologists with the knowledge, training and enhanced professional skills to care for people’s psychological needs in a variety of settings. By integrating the science of psychology with Christian theology, the program prepares graduates who understand and practice psychology as a God-ordained calling. As a practitioner’s degree, the Psy.D. is designed for those who primarily seek to go into full-time practice — and thus emphasizes the ability to understand and apply research, rather than conduct original research. The program has been accredited by the American Psychological Association since 1980.
