Our
Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology was designed with APA accreditation status in mind
and fulfills requirements for accreditation set by APA. However, a newly
established doctoral program in clinical psychology must be in operation for
several years before it can be accredited. SMU admitted its first class of
students into the Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology in the fall semester of
2004. Thus, our program is not yet accredited. However, we plan to apply
to for an accreditation review by APA in the Fall Semester of 2008. Students
graduating from our program after APA accreditation is obtained can indicate
that they have graduated from an APA accredited doctoral program in clinical
psychology.
