Specializations
Clinical Psychology (Licensure)
Counseling Psychology (Licensure)
General Psychology
Health Psychology
Organizational Psychology
School Psychology (Licensure)
The Clinical Psychology, Counseling Psychology and School Psychology specializations in the Psychology Ph.D. program are designed to prepare graduates to qualify to sit for psychology licensing exams. These specializations are designed to meet the academic licensure requirements of many state psychology boards. However, Walden University licensure specializations in psychology are not accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA) and have not received designation by the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards/National Register (ASPPB/NR), which are requirements for licensure in some states. Because no graduate program can guarantee licensure upon graduation, we encourage students to consult the appropriate agency to determine specific requirements. For more information about licensure, students should visit the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards at www.asppb.org/about/boardContact.aspx and contact the appropriate licensing body. International students are encouraged to identify and contact their appropriate licensing body.
