    "description": "<h1>Program Prerequisites</h1><p>Students must have obtained a baccalaureate or higher degree in Psychology, prior to the start of the term for which the student is admitted, from a regionally accredited institution or from a recognized foreign institution. Students without a baccalaureate or higher degree from an accredited institution (or equivalent) are not admitted to graduate degree programs, graduate certificate programs, or graduate nondegree status. If the baccalaureate degree does not include a major in Psychology, students must have completed at least 18 credit hours of Psychology courses at the undergraduate level or above. These courses must include Intro/General Psychology, Research Methods/Statistics, Abnormal Psychology, and Personality Theory/Psychology. The following courses are strongly encouraged: Social Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Biological/Physiological Psychology, and Developmental Psychology. The program requires that History and Systems of Psychology is completed at the undergraduate level with a grade of at least a &quot;B.&quot; This can either be completed prior to starting the program or as an undergraduate course during the program. Applicants who enter with a Master's degree may be eligible to waive or transfer up to 30 credit hours for credits earned from a completed Master's degree from an accredited institution recognized by UCF (as long as this number does not exceed 50% of the program's requirements). In these cases, each applicant's situation will be reviewed individually based on program standards and requirements.</p> <br /> <p>Successful applicants typically have both strengths and relative weaknesses in their applications, and it is important to view one’s application as a portfolio. The components of the application are as follow:</p> <ol> <li>Educational history/grades</li> <li>Letters of recommendation: Three letters written by people who can speak to your work ethic, range of professional interests, and what it is like to work with you.</li> <li>Personal essay: An essay about your research and clinical interests and faculty you may be interested in working with while enrolled in our program.</li> <li>Content training: Information about career and research experiences may be highlighted on the CV and personal statement and are often described in an applicant’s letters of recommendation.</li> </ol> <p>At UCF, the applicant’s fit with the goals of the program are a critical component. It is very rare that an application is positively distinguished on all four of the areas described above. To be considered for admission, the program <strong>requires having some hands-on research experience</strong> outside of a course (e.g., as a research assistant/coordinator) preferably in a topic area which overlaps one of our faculty members who you would like to work with on research. In your essay, you need to highlight that experience in relation to what you’d like to conduct research on if accepted to our program. Previous experience working in behavioral health settings or with individuals with mental illness is also a helpful, but not required, experience to highlight.</p><h1>Degree Requirements</h1><div><section><header data-test=\"grouping-0-header\"><div><h2 data-testid=\"grouping-label\"><span>Required Courses</span></h2></div><div><span>75</span><span>Total Credits</span></div><div><div><button aria-label=\"Collapse\"><i></i></button></div></div></header><div><div><ul><li data-test=\"ruleView-A\"><div data-test=\"ruleView-A-result\"><div>Details:</div></div></li></ul></div><div><section><div><header><div><h2>Psychology Foundation Courses</h2></div><div><span>12</span><span>Total Credits</span></div><div><button aria-label=\"Collapse\"><i></i></button></div></header><div><div><ul><li><span>Complete <!-- -->all<!-- --> of the following</span><ul><li data-test=\"ruleView-A\"><div data-test=\"ruleView-A-result\">Complete the following: <div><ul style=\"margin-top:5px;margin-bottom:5px\"><li><span><a href=\"#/courses/view/6189560dd1ff388cc76d8474\" target=\"_blank\">DEP5057</a> <!-- -->-<!-- --> <!-- -->Developmental Psychology<!-- --> <span style=\"margin-left:5px\">(3)</span></span></li><li><span><a href=\"#/courses/view/60ca810c9d7535ac87877321\" target=\"_blank\">SOP5059</a> <!-- -->-<!-- --> <!-- -->Advanced Social Psychology<!-- --> <span style=\"margin-left:5px\">(3)</span></span></li><li><span><a href=\"#/courses/view/60ca80e1a38edf3ba93eca5f\" target=\"_blank\">PSB6348</a> <!-- -->-<!-- --> <!-- -->The Neuroanatomical Basis of Psychological Function<!-- --> <span style=\"margin-left:5px\">(3)</span></span></li><li><span><a href=\"#/courses/view/60ca6b9be6bc79277c73e623\" target=\"_blank\">EXP6506</a> <!-- -->-<!-- --> <!-- -->Human Cognition and Learning<!-- --> <span style=\"margin-left:5px\">(3)</span></span></li></ul></div></div></li><li data-test=\"ruleView-B\"><div data-test=\"ruleView-B-result\"><div>These courses may be substituted with a grade of a B or better in an Integrative Course that has a component that maps onto a given foundation course with the permission of the program faculty.</div></div></li></ul></li></ul></div></div></div></section><section><div><header><div><h2>Integrative Course</h2></div><div><span>3</span><span>Total Credits</span></div><div><button aria-label=\"Collapse\"><i></i></button></div></header><div><div><ul><li><span>Complete <!-- -->all<!-- --> of the following</span><ul><li data-test=\"ruleView-A\"><div data-test=\"ruleView-A-result\">Complete the following: <div><ul style=\"margin-top:5px;margin-bottom:5px\"><li><span><a href=\"#/courses/view/6165cc0555aed4461c546f50\" target=\"_blank\">PSB7048</a> <!-- -->-<!-- --> <!-- -->Affective Neuroscience<!-- --> <span style=\"margin-left:5px\">(3)</span></span></li></ul></div></div></li><li data-test=\"ruleView-B\"><div data-test=\"ruleView-B-result\"><div>This course may be substituted with any future course that the program designates as an integrative course.</div></div></li></ul></li></ul></div></div></div></section><section><div><header><div><h2>Research Courses</h2></div><div><span>18</span><span>Total Credits</span></div><div><button aria-label=\"Collapse\"><i></i></button></div></header><div><div><ul><li><span>Complete <!-- -->all<!-- --> of the following</span><ul><li data-test=\"ruleView-A\"><div data-test=\"ruleView-A-result\">Complete the following: <div><ul style=\"margin-top:5px;margin-bottom:5px\"><li><span><a href=\"#/courses/view/60ca80e202fd3a22ad6d890d\" target=\"_blank\">PSY7217C</a> <!-- -->-<!-- --> <!-- -->Advanced Research Methodology I<!-- --> <span style=\"margin-left:5px\">(4)</span></span></li><li><span><a href=\"#/courses/view/60ca80e25a1583c5049e73ce\" target=\"_blank\">PSY7218C</a> <!-- -->-<!-- --> <!-- -->Advanced Research Methodology II<!-- --> <span style=\"margin-left:5px\">(4)</span></span></li><li><span><a href=\"#/courses/view/60ca80e3a38edf12523eca68\" target=\"_blank\">PSY7219C</a> <!-- -->-<!-- --> <!-- -->Advanced Research Methodology III<!-- --> <span style=\"margin-left:5px\">(4)</span></span></li></ul></div></div></li><li data-test=\"ruleView-B\"><div data-test=\"ruleView-B-result\">Earn at least <span>6</span> credits from the following: <div><ul style=\"margin-top:5px;margin-bottom:5px\"><li><span><a href=\"#/courses/view/60ca80e260402b7fa4ae784a\" target=\"_blank\">PSY6971</a> <!-- -->-<!-- --> <!-- -->Thesis<!-- --> <span style=\"margin-left:5px\">(1 -

The Clinical Domain requires successful completion of both written and oral components. By contrast, the “Research Domain” is designed to assess the student’s competency with respect to clinical research. Through this exercise, students are tasked with the development of a theoretically- and empirically-coherent written research proposal. \n</div></div></li></ul></div></div></div></section><section><div><header><div><h2>Requirements, Rationale, and Objectives</h2></div><div><span>0</span><span>Total Credits</span></div><div><button aria-label=\"Collapse\"><i></i></button></div></header><div><div><ul><li data-test=\"ruleView-A\"><div data-test=\"ruleView-A-result\"><div>\nSuccessful completion of Qualifying and Comprehensive Examination requirements reflects the program&#x27;s desire to ensure overall breadth of training in the field of Clinical Psychology.

Because Clinical Psychology involves the provision of mental health services to the public, special care must be taken to ensure that graduate students possess the requisite interpersonal sensitivity and skill. As a result, evaluation procedures within this track will focus not only on academic performance but also on: clinical proficiency; ethical and professional conduct; response to supervision; interpersonal behavior; and interpersonal functioning. The Clinical Psychology committee reserves the right to drop from the program graduate students who continue to exhibit serious difficulties in these behavioral domains and do not respond to feedback and efforts at remediation.\n</div></div></li></ul></div></div></section><section><header data-test=\"grouping-4-header\"><div><h2 data-testid=\"grouping-label\"><span>Master of Science in Clinical Psychology</span></h2></div><div><span>0</span><span>Total Credits</span></div><div><div><button aria-label=\"Collapse\"><i></i></button></div></div></header><div><div><ul><li data-test=\"ruleView-A\"><div data-test=\"ruleView-A-result\"><div>Graduate students enrolled in the Clinical Psychology PhD Program earn a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology in route to their doctorate unless they are admitted with an acceptable completed Master&#x27;s thesis.
