Accredited Doctoral Programs in Professional Psychology
(August
20, 2009)
Public Notice
- The following notice is provided as a public service by the APA Office of Program Consultation and Accreditation consistent with a Web listing protocol recommended by the Association of Specialized and Professional Accreditors (ASPA).
- This section of the APA Office of Program Consultation and Accreditation Web site contains the only official Web list of professional psychology programs accredited by the APA Commission on Accreditation.
- This is provided for informational purposes only and should not be used for official credential review.
- This Web site does not contain a full historical record of accredited programs. You may contact the Office of Program Consultation and Accreditation for verification of prior accreditation. Please provide the substantive area (e.g., Clinical) and degree (e.g., Ph.D.) of the program in question, as well as the year(s) of interest (e.g., graduated in 1993).
- The Office of Program Consultation and Accreditation is not responsible for the accuracy of any accredited status representations on any other Web site.
- For an official hardcopy list of the same accredited programs listed below, please contact the Office of Program Consultation and Accreditation at 202-336-5979 or email apaaccred.
Information Provided on this Web Site
- The Commission on Accreditation (CoA) has accredited the doctoral training programs in professional psychology in the areas of (a) clinical, (b) counseling, (c) school, (d) other developed practice areas, and (e) combinations of two or three of the above areas listed alphabetically below by their host institutions.
- The original date of accreditation, listed for each program, is the day on which the program’s accredited status became effective.
- The listing for each program includes the date of the next regularly scheduled
site visit. Those programs visited prior to 2009 for
which no final decisions had been reached at the time of this posting are
listed as next site visit not yet scheduled.
- To obtain more information on training goals, courses offered, requirements for admission, and outcomes of specific programs, the reader is encouraged to contact the program directly.
About the Accreditation Process
- Program review is governed by the Guidelines
and Principles for Accreditation of Programs in Professional Psychology
(G&P). A hardcopy of this document is available from the APA Office
of Program Consultation and Accreditation upon request.
- The CoA accepts third-party comment on programs in advance of their next
scheduled reviews. For details on providing comment, please refer to Section
7 of the Accreditation
Operating Procedures or contact the Program Consultation and Accreditation
Office by telephone at (202) 336-5979.
- Accreditation is a voluntary process. Programs that have not applied for accreditation are not included in the list. Programs that have applied for initial accreditation after July 1, 2005 are listed on the Accreditation
Web site.
- A list of programs accredited by the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) is available on the CPA
Web site. The APA and CPA are in the process of phasing out concurrent accreditation. Beginning on September 1, 2015, the APA will no longer accredit programs in Canada.
Accreditation Statuses
- The official accreditation status of each program is provided at the bottom
of each listing. In accordance with its policies regarding confidentiality
of program decisions, the Office of Program Consultation and Accreditation
cannot provide detailed information regarding these statuses to the public.
Interested parties are encouraged to contact the program directly for that
information. The official accreditation statuses are as follows:
- Accredited: Programs that have been judged
by the CoA to be consistent substantively and procedurally with the G&P.
- Accredited, on probation: Programs that are,
in the CoA’s judgment, not deemed to be fully consistent with the
G&P. Doctoral programs are typically scheduled for the next review after
two years.
- Accredited, inactive: Programs that have not
admitted new students for two successive years. Inactive doctoral programs
are typically in the process of phasing out the program; if this is the
case, it will be noted in the program listing.
- Any programs that applied for accreditation and were reviewed but were
denied accreditation after completion of the site visit process will be
listed in a separate “Doctoral Programs Denied Accreditation”
section at the beginning of this listing. Denial of accreditation designates
an applicant program for which the CoA has evidence that the program is
inconsistent with the G&P.
- The accreditation status listed for each program reflects that program’s
current accredited status. If a review of a program is not complete or
the decision is not final, the program’s prior accreditation status
continues to be in effect until the review has been completed and a final
decision has been reached.
- All Canadian programs currently accredited by APA through September 1, 2015
will be listed as accredited through the 2014-2015 academic year
rather than by the year of the next scheduled site visit. Concurrent programs
with scheduled reviews prior to that date are listed with the date of the
next regularly scheduled site visit.
