- Location(s): Main Campus Close Program Director: Michael Steele Program Learning Outcomes CIP Code: 42.2801 Program Admission See Admissions Requirements for this program. Program Information Consistent with the Practitioner-Scholar training model (Vail Model), the Doctorate of Psychology (PsyD) program at Southern Utah University trains professional, doctoral-level practitioner-scientists who specialize in clinical practice. Located in rural southwestern Utah, the program is founded on principles of community and rural mental health. Extensive practical placements afford professional experience in a variety of settings, including schools, residential treatment centers, community mental health settings, substance abuse treatment programs, native health centers, homeless resource centers, crisis centers, community clinics, public hospitals, and government agencies (see Practicum Manual). The scientific foundations of psychology provide the philosophical grounding, and evidence-based practices are at the core of our clinical training. Through this program, students become informed consumers of scientific inquiry, educators, and skilled clinicians. The program is a full-time program offering a course of study leading to the PsyD degree. Coursework and practical training prepare students for licensure as psychologists, with an emphasis on educating emerging psychologists for the underserved areas of rural and frontier southern Utah, and adjoining regions. The program’s goals and objectives are based on the American Psychological Association’s profession-wide competencies of clinical education and training, required accreditation domains , and discipline-specific professional knowledge areas. All courses must be passed with a B- (2.7) or better to be counted in the program. Students must earn a minimum overall GPA of 3.0 ( B average) out of a 4.0 scale to graduate. Students must complete of all degree requirements within a 7-year time frame (not including an approved Leave of Absence), with all coursework and practicum completed by the end of the fifth year and before starting the predoctoral internship.
