Clinical Psychology Dissertations

The Ph.D. program in clinical psychology at the University of Texas at Tyler is a scientist-practitioner based program which provides high quality academic, research, and clinical training with under-served populations. Our focus is on training students to work with veterans, in rural mental health settings, and in geropsychology. Training in cultural diversity issues is infused throughout the curriculum. Students will receive additional courses and clinical training in these 3 emphasis areas during their time in the program. Students are mentored by clinical faculty in research and provide supervision of their clinical work along the way. A thesis and dissertation are required. Clinical training is provided in our on-campus clinic and in a number of agencies in the East Texas area. Students receive a stipend /financial aid package that allows them to focus on their academic and professional goals and involve research and teaching activities. Upon completion of our program, students will be able to become licensed psychologists and work in a variety of academic, medical, or clinical settings.
