(May 6, 2008)
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.
- 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 2007 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
- Programs listed as accredited have been judged by the CoA to be consistent
substantively and procedurally with the G&P.
- Programs listed as accredited, on probation, are, in the CoA’s judgment,
not deemed to be fully consistent with the G&P.
- Programs listed as accredited, inactive have not admitted students for two
successive years.
- Any programs that applied for accreditation and were reviewed but were denied
accreditation after completion of the evaluation process will be listed in
the programs denied accreditation section following the main 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.
