Students interested in choosing a concentration or in adding a Master’s<br />
degree should contact the Concentration Coordinator or Program Director for<br />
further information. Students must complete a form that requires the signature<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Coordinator or Program Director and their faculty advisor available from<br />
the Office <strong>of</strong> Admissions in order to add a concentration or degree.<br />
Residency Requirement<br />
A residency requirement must be satisfied following admission to the<br />
Psy.D. program. It is expected that students fulfill all degree requirements<br />
through courses <strong>of</strong>fered at the <strong>Adler</strong> <strong>School</strong>. Students can transfer up to 24<br />
credits (21% <strong>of</strong> the total credits required) <strong>of</strong> coursework taken at a graduate<br />
level pending approval based on review by the Program Director. In addition, in<br />
order to comply with APA-mandated residency, the program requires each<br />
student a minimum <strong>of</strong> 3 full-time academic years <strong>of</strong> graduate study (or the<br />
equivalent there<strong>of</strong>) and completion <strong>of</strong> an internship prior to awarding the<br />
doctoral degree. Doctoral students are required to attend school full-time unless<br />
approved for part-time study by their faculty advisor. At least 2 <strong>of</strong> the 3<br />
academic training years (or the equivalent there<strong>of</strong>) must be at the institution<br />
from which the doctoral degree is granted, and at least 1 year <strong>of</strong> which must<br />
be in full-time residence (or the equivalent there<strong>of</strong>) at that same institution.<br />
Qualifying Examinations<br />
In addition to satisfying course work, practica, and other program<br />
requirements, students must also pass three qualifying examinations.<br />
Qualifying examinations are important capstone tasks integrated throughout<br />
the doctoral curriculum that provide students with the opportunity to integrate<br />
course material and practical training, reflect upon the educational and training<br />
experiences, and apply their learning to clinical and social issues. In addition,<br />
they enable faculty to evaluate students’ progress toward expected learning<br />
outcomes for the doctoral program.<br />
