Clinical/Industrial-Organizational Psychology: Dual PhD, San Diego


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs

Some professionals aspire to careers that allow for practice both as a licensed clinician and as an organizational researcher and consultant. To this end, the San Diego campus offers students the option of earning a dual PhD degree in Clinical and Industrial-Organizational Psychology. Students in the dual degree PhD program receive education and training in both disciplines, allowing them to fill unique professional roles. Students enrolled in this program fulfill the program requirements of both disciplines, which generally results in a minimum of five years of full-time study plus two additional semesters to complete the dissertation and the second clinical internship. Dual degree Clinical/I-O program students complete one dissertation, under the mentorship of faculty from both programs, that reflects the integration of both fields of study. The clinical portion of the dual degree program reflects the curriculum of CSPP’s APA-accredited PhD program in clinical psychology. Thus, dual program students must complete every requirement of the clinical PhD program without exception.

Internship Requirements

The Dual Clinical Psychology / Industrial-Organizational Psychology PhD degree also requires the completion of field placements in a clinical and an organizational setting. The clinical practicum is taken in the second year of the program at a local agency. Students must accrue a minimum of 800 hours of supervised practice. Dual program students complete 700 hours of supervised training in a Field Placement in Organizational Studies in the third year. Students are encouraged to apply for an APA accredited internship taken in the fifth or sixth program year. Students who are unable to attend an APA accredited clinical psychology internship will complete two consecutive years of half-time internship in their fifth and sixth years.
