Sonya Volcko: In looking at an example of a PsyD program, this particular program requires a dissertation: Michigan School of Professional Psychology http://www.mispp.edu/academics/doctoral-degree/psy... And it also requires a 2,000 hour internship.As someone indicated here, ensure the program is accredited by the APA otherwise you will not be able to get licensed by the state.Directory of APA accredited programs: http://www.apa.org/ed/accreditation/programs/...Show more
Janita Tetlow: I knew someone who graduated from Pepperdine program. The answer is yes. Not only that, she had to have one year of very minimumly paid postdoctoral training, as well.
Caterina Yeargan: Nearly all APA accredited PsyD programs require a doctoral dissertation. Don't even think about a doctoral program that isn't APA accredited if you want to have your degree considered legitimate by other professionals. PsyD programs emphasize test administration and other clinical practice rat! her than research. PhD programs have more balance between the clinical side and the research side, preparing PhD candidates for both.
