The PhD in Clinical Psychology is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the American Psychological Association. It is one of the few clinical programs that combine a psychoanalytic emphasis with adherence to the scientist-practitioner model.

It also recognizes the importance of understanding the roles of culture and context in mediating healthy psychological development, psychopathology, and psychotherapeutic change.

The mission of the Clinical Psychology doctoral program at The New School for Social Research is to train scientist-practitioners who:

  • Are competent in clinical practice, including diagnostic assessment, case formulation, and intervention
  • Are engaged in contributing to scholarship in all its forms 
  • Are grounded in the broader field of scientific psychology and can integrate scientific knowledge with clinical research and practice 
  • Can communicate about psychology effectively with a wide range of individuals
  • Are respectful of the influence of context, culture, development, and individual differences
  • Act ethically throughout their professional conduct

While introducing students to full range of evidence-based practice, we provide a foundation in psychodynamic theory and practice, whose core tenets we identify as 1) recognition of the importance of context and development for psychological trajectories; 2) acknowledgment of intrapsychic influences on behavior which may lay outside awareness; 3) appreciation of the fact that individuals attempt to manage difficult emotions through complex means; and 4) respect for the impact of relational factors on the amelioration of distress, including the therapist’s and client’s reactions to each other. It is expected that graduates will implement these skills in a variety of settings.

Consistent with The New School for Social Research’s institutional goals, we value progressive social thought, critical analysis, pluralism, diversity, and interdisciplinary dialogue and recognize the importance of pursuing and maintaining integration between scholarship and real-world concerns.

Approach to Training

Our overall ethos is a realistic take on the challenges to the scientist-practitioner model: Researchers sometimes fail to take into account the realities of clinical practice, and as surveys indicate, many practitioners are not interested in research findings. An important goal is thus to train students to think critically about the causes of the researcher-practitioner gap and to explore ways of reducing it. We attempt to create an atmosphere in which a critical spirit will flourish. Ongoing questioning and dialogue are encouraged, formally and informally, not only in classes and seminars but also at guest lectures, case conferences, research conferences, and various faculty and student meetings.

The program achieves mission through three primary modes of educational experiences: coursework, clinical placements, and research mentorship.

Coursework:  Students in the MA program undertake broad, foundational, and graduate-level study of psychological science, in the areas of affective, biological, cognitive, social, and developmental psychology, as well as research methods and statistics. As they move into the doctoral program, they integrate their acquired basic science learning into clinical skills coursework.

Clinical Placements and Supervision: In clinical placements, doctoral students participate in didactics on up-to-date clinical research, which their supervisors then help them incorporate into their interventions. An important element of the integration of science and practice is the clinical experience in the Safran Center for Psychological Services, in which students employ evidence-based interventions and actively participate in psychotherapy process and outcomes research.

Research Mentorship: Students are guided by mentors in their research labs in generating research that integrates the theoretical and clinical implications of their proposed research and its subsequent findings.  

For full details of the program curriculum, as well as all policies and procedures, please see the Psychology student handbook .

Program Ethos

Psychodynamic Roots: Many of our basic clinical skills courses have a broad-based psychodynamic emphasis. Others have a cognitive-behavioral emphasis. Students are also exposed to other therapeutic orientations, such as humanistic and existential approaches. They are encouraged to approach clinical practice with an open and inquiring mind and avoid a doctrinaire outlook.

In its clinical training, the program is pluralistic, with an emphasis on psychoanalytically informed practice. The psychoanalytic legacy of our program can be traced back to 1926, when Sándor Ferenczi, one of Freud's closest colleagues, taught a course at The New School. Other psychoanalytic pioneers who have taught at The New School include Alfred Adler, Ernst Kris, Karen Horney, and Erich Fromm. Our psychoanalytic legacy can also be traced to the World War II–era origins of The New School for Social Research, of which a number of founding faculty members were interested in the synthesis of social and political thought, psychoanalysis, and the humanities.

Critical Thinking: Critical inquiry and debate are encouraged, and students seek out training experiences in a range of different orientations during externship placements. Students are exposed to diverse orientations and taught to examine similarities, differences, and points of complementarity between them. They are taught to think critically about the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches and to explore different approaches to integrating both interventions and theories from different perspectives (e.g., technical eclecticism, theoretical integration, common factors approaches, assimilative integration).

Integration of Science and Practice: In accordance with the scientist-practitioner model of training for clinical psychology, we are committed to teaching our students to integrate research and practice in a meaningful way. We teach them to view the activities of conducting research and engaging in clinical practice as mutually enhancing—that is, to understand that clinical practice generates important questions and insights that can have a significant influence on the conceptualization and execution of research and that both research findings and the process of conducting research can have an important impact on clinical practice.

Consistent with the National Conference on Scientist-Practitioner Education and Training for the Professional Practice of Psychology, the emphasis in our training model is on the integration of science and practice in all activities a clinical psychologist undertakes. From this perspective, the hallmark of the scientist-practitioner model is not publishing in scientific journals but rather bringing the integrative perspective of the scientific-practitioner model to all professional activities.

Many of our graduates choose to work in clinical settings, and when they do, we expect them to approach their work with the critical sensibility that is the hallmark of science; to value and seek out up-to-date information, including expertise in both clinical techniques and empirical findings regarding assessment, psychopathology, and therapeutic methods; and to evaluate this information critically. When they do research, we expect them to be attuned to real-world clinical concerns and to use their clinical experience to generate meaningful hypotheses.

We also believe it is important for students to be aware from the outset that the practice of clinical psychology often falls short of the ideals of the scientist-practitioner model, and that there is an increasing recognition in the field of a gap between researchers and clinicians. Researchers sometimes fail to take into account the realities of clinical practice, and, as surveys indicate, many practitioners are not interested in research findings. An important goal is thus to train students to think critically about the causes of the researcher-practitioner gap and to explore ways of reducing it. We attempt to create an atmosphere in which a critical spirit will flourish. Ongoing questioning and dialogue are encouraged, formally and informally, not only in class and seminar rooms but also at guest lectures, case conferences, research conferences, and various faculty and student meetings.

A full account of degree requirements and procedures is contained in the Psychology student handbook .

PhD candidates must earn 60 credits in addition to the 30 credits taken in the General Psychology MA program, for a total of 90 credits. 

Once admitted to the Clinical Psychology doctoral program:

  • Students are expected to take courses in clinical theory and technique, diagnostic testing, evidence-based practice, culture and ethnicity, ethics, and statistics, and others
  • Students must also complete a practicum at the program's training site, the Safran Center for Psychological Services, in their first year, followed by two full years of externship and externship seminars
  • The clinical component of training culminates in a paid, full-time, APA-accredited internship, procured through a national match process. 

Timeline to Completion:  It is possible to complete the PhD degree in four years (not including the two-year MA program). The program is structured so that students spend three years completing academic and practicum requirements and one year completing an APA-accredited pre-doctoral internship. It is not unusual for students to take longer than four years, given the many concurrent academic, clinical, and research experiences that the program affords, and given many students' desire to gain additional clinical experience in light of the current internship match imbalance.

Graduate Minors

Students can use elective courses toward completing one of the university’s  graduate minors . These structured pathways of study immerse master's and doctoral students in disciplines outside their primary field and expose them to alternative modes of research and practice. Completed graduate minors are officially recorded on students' transcript.

Dissertation

The dissertation itself consists of two separate but related portions:

  • Literature Review: The first portion is a stand-alone literature review article that is submitted in a form that is potentially acceptable to a peer-reviewed journal. This article should be approximately 10,000 words or 25-30 double-spaced pages in length (including references), and will review theoretical and empirical research relevant to the topic on which the dissertation research focuses.
  • Empirical Article: The second portion consists of a stand-alone empirical article written in a form that would be acceptable to a peer-reviewed journal. This article should be approximately 10,000 words or 25-30 pages double spaced in length (including references). Students should familiarize themselves with the types of articles that appear in quality journals relevant to their area of research, and use these as models when writing their dissertation.  

See Dissertation Requirements in the Psychology student handbook for complete information.

Assistantships

A limited number of research and teaching assistantships are available in the Psychology department. Teaching assistantships are usually restricted to doctoral candidates.

The most recent American Psychological Association site visit, in December 2013, resulted in the PhD program's accreditation for a full seven years. The program continues to be accredited, with its next site visit scheduled to take place in 2021.

Site visitors commented on the excellence of the program's training in scholarship, research, and practice, and on our success in integrating the three realms. 

To quote the site visit report:

“The focus of the program is not only on present knowledge available but on understanding the value of developing a stance of lifelong scholarly inquiry and the basic value of science as an important part of clinical practice. There is an emphasis on the constant change in knowledge and ideas that occur in the field and on the importance of both being aware of these changes and of being involved in them. The advanced students appear to have developed a very strong attitude of lifelong learning and also assist in the development of this attitude by being models and passing on the attitude to the new students.

"The program excels in the area of clinical training. The New School Psychotherapy Research Program provides a strong beginning to the students' clinical experience. A wide range of agencies are used for advanced practica and all are required to provide adequate supervision and appropriate professional supervisors. The clinical training experience is integrated with all appropriate courses. The practica from the very first year New School Psychotherapy Research Program placement on throughout the program are designed to fit with and be part of developing competencies and to meet both immediate and long term training during each year of the program. Since practicum training is part of the training during each year in the program, the amount, intensity and breadth of experience is well beyond what is expected by most internship sites.

"The program tracks placements of its graduates and is justly proud of the excellent jobs its students regularly obtain. In our interviews with supervisors in sites that support student placements and internships we learned that most of them consider New School graduate students to be the best graduate students they see."

Detailed policies and procedures for admissions can be found in the Psychology student handbook .

Students begin their studies toward the PhD by obtaining an MA in General Psychology, which includes courses in cognition, social psychology, developmental psychology, neuroscience, psychopathology, and research methods and statistics, as well as three electives. For these electives, students may take the three-course module in Substance Abuse Counseling and Mental Health. In the middle of the second year of the MA, students with a GPA of 3.50 or higher, who are also pursuing research with faculty guidance, may apply for admission to the Clinical Psychology doctoral program. The Clinical program admits approximately 15 students per year. Successful completion of the MA in General Psychology does not guarantee admission to the PhD program.

Students with MA degrees in psychology from other universities  may be eligible for "Advanced Standing" status in the New School for Social Research MA program. Accepted students are informed of whether or not they will be admitted with Advanced Standing status prior to beginning the MA program. Once accepted, eligible students may apply to enter the Clinical Psychology PhD after at least one semester of study here at the MA level, depending on how many of their credits transfer and assuming they have successfully completed requisite courses to meet eligibility for doctoral application. Students in this situation should consult the "Advanced Standing" section in the department handbook for additional information.

The doctoral program in Social Psychology at New York University offers training in the scientific study of social psychology and social behavior. To this end, it offers training in the psychological theories, principles, and research methods relevant to understanding human behavior among individuals, groups, and organizations .

social psychology faculty and students

Program Vision

Social behavior is best understood from a multi-level perspective. The focal level of analysis often concerns the individual and the situation, with an emphasis on the cognitive, emotional, and motivational processes that drive behavior in social contexts. Our multi-level approach may examined how these processes are shaped by political, societal, and organizational factors, at a higher level, and supported by neural and physiological systems, at a lower level.

Our multi-level perspective is reflected in our methodologies. Students receive training in advanced quantitative methods and in a broad range of approaches such as behavioral experimentation, psychophysiology and cognitive neuroscience, big data (e.g., from social media), experience sampling, online data collection, dyadic measurement, computational modeling, and field studies, to name a few. Members of the program have access to fMRI, EEG/ERP, eye-tracking, and peripheral psychophysiology facilities housed within the Psychology Department.

Finally, we are committed to connecting our research to the real world. Although our questions often focus on basic processes that drive social cognition and motivation, our broader goals are to understand real-life human behaviors and pressing societal issues and to contribute solid scientific knowledge to policy makers and human service providers.

Program Culture and Activities

The NYU social program has a history of a special communal, cooperative spirit, with very high morale among the students and faculty. Moreover, the program culture is constantly evolving, influenced by interactions among current students, postdocs, and faculty, by changes in the broader scientific field, and by events in the world. We hold weekly program meetings (our “brownbag” meeting) that emphasize new findings and lively discussions, and we feature multiple talk series featuring prominent outside speakers (e.g., Social Colloquium, Social Neuroscience Series, Distinguished Lecture Series). Members of the program also enjoy interactions with colleagues in Cognition & Perception, Development, Neuroscience, Applied Psychology, Linguistics, Politics, Philosophy, and the Stern School of Business. Our location in an exciting and central neighborhood in New York City makes it easy for students and faculty to come in early and/or stay late to meet with each other and distinguished visitors.

Graduate study in the Social Psychology program at NYU means being part of an unusually active research culture. We share well-equipped laboratories, and we promote 'open door' relationships between professors and students. Although students typically have a primary home in one professor's laboratory, we require that students work in at least one other laboratory to promote breadth of training in a variety of methodological approaches and research issues. Our goal is to prepare students to be highly competitive in the job market for the type of career they seek, and we are proud of the steady success of our students in obtaining academic positions at top research universities and teaching colleges.

All students accepted into our graduate program are fully funded through the Henry M. MacCracken Program or the NYUAD Global PhD Fellowship.

MacCracken funding is provided through a combination of teaching assistantship, research assistantship, and fellowship, in proportions to be determined. The award package typically includes a full tuition scholarship, comprehensive health insurance and a stipend. Funding is typically guaranteed for five years, although students with substantial graduate credits or a Master's degree may only be guaranteed four years of support.

NYUAD Global PhD Fellowships include full tuition scholarship, health insurance, travel benefits, and a stipend. Funding is for five years, which typically includes two years or less of course work in New York and the remaining at least three years or more of dissertation research in Abu Dhabi. Campus housing in Abu Dhabi is provided free of cost and is available to all Global Fellows.

There is a very limited supply of subsidized housing available for graduate students which is generally used for a subset of each entering class to provide them the opportunity to get settled in New York City during their first year of residence.

NYU Abu Dhabi PhD Program

The Program in Social Psychology maintains a relationship with the Social Psychology faculty at NYU Abu Dhabi. This relationship supports opportunities for collaboration between students and faculty across the New York and Abu Dhabi campuses. Students accepted for the NYU Abu Dhabi Ph.D. program will typically spend two years primarily in New York with multiple visits to Abu Dhabi. During those two years, students complete all or most of their coursework as well as carrying out research in collaboration with an NYU Abu Dhabi advisor and a co-mentor in New York. The subsequent three years are spent in Abu Dhabi completing the dissertation research and any remaining course requirements. For further information on the Global Ph.D. program, click here .

Clinical psychology, health care emphasis, phd.

  • New York City

This program is STEM designated, which means you will be trained in areas of technology that are in high demand with United States employers. International students studying in person on student visas will be eligible for an Optional Practical Training (OPT) extension of 24 months, for a total of 36 months.

Healthcare Integration

Within a biopsychosocial framework, the PhD in Clinical Psychology (Health Care Emphasis) program prepares you for a bright future as a clinical scientist or scientist-practitioner. Skills are gained in psychodiagnostic assessment, therapeutic intervention, prevention, and consultation in both mental health and medical settings. The integration of mind and body—of mental and physical health—across the lifespan, attendant to racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity, so pertinent to risk and healthcare disparities, are embedded features in the program’s curriculum and training.

Faculty are devoted to the advancement of scientific knowledge in clinical psychology and clinical health psychology. The program draws upon the department’s long-standing strengths in areas related to global mental health and aims to prepare students for academic and research track positions, as well as for clinical roles with applied research activities. You’ll be prepared to work collaboratively in a variety of medical, community, and public health settings, and upon graduation, you will have completed all pre-doctoral academic and internship requirements for admittance to the New York State Licensing Examination.

The PhD Program in Clinical Psychology currently is seeking American Psychological Association (APA) accreditation. It has completed its self-study and been granted a site visit by the Committee on Accreditation (CoA), tentatively projected for Winter 2025. The program will be reviewed by CoA after the site visit to determine whether to grant accreditation on contingency at that time, and if the program is granted accreditation on contingency, the initial date of accreditation will be retroactive to the site visit. For questions about accreditation, please contact the CoA office at (202) 336-5965.

A Scientist-Practitioner Model

  • Follow a Boulder Model of training wherein training in research inquiry and clinical practice (assessment, prevention, promotion, and intervention), in relation to mental health and physical health, are integrated through intensive coursework and placement experiences.
  • Develop expertise regarding factors bearing on wellness and illness, including developmental processes (leading to preparation for work in pediatric as well as adult settings), and social, cultural, economic and global features which contribute to health and well-being.
  • Gain exposure to multiple-theoretical perspectives, including cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, trauma-focused, and other relevant approaches.

Clinical Training and Research Opportunities

The Clinical Psychology (Health Care Emphasis) PhD program is designed to provide, within a scientist-practitioner model, education and training in clinical psychology and clinical health psychology. Clinical training begins in the first year, with a course in clinical interviewing in the first semester followed by training through practicum and supervised clinical experience in the department’s McShane Center for Psychological Services. In the third and fourth years, students complete clinical training at external field sites around the New York area, followed by a year of full-time internship.

You’ll gain new perspectives through closer interaction with students and faculty across programs, as in mentored research labs and from research talks from experts in the field. From the beginning of the program, students are involved in research with a mentor, leading to completion of a master’s thesis (at the end of second year) and culminating in completion of a doctoral dissertation. Dissertation research within this PhD program involves a chosen investigation into a specific interface between psychological and physical health.

Diversity is emphasized in academic work and practical training through opportunities to work with diverse populations. Pace University’s McShane Center for Psychological Services provides services to the multicultural community in the lower Manhattan area; a special interest group on social justice and diversity organizes events, discussions, and meetings to address important topics and issues relevant to social justice and diversity; and the Center for Global Psychology is dedicated to enhancing the global capabilities of Pace students and faculty from psychology and related fields by providing high-quality academic and professional experiences.

How To Become A Practicing Psychologist In New York

Becoming a licensed and certified psychologist in the state of New York requires commitment and dedication. Not only do you have to have all of the required education, which we will highlight further on, you must also be possessed of high moral character while meeting or exceeding testing scores on a variety of different subjects.

Individuals interested in pursuing a psychologist license will have to start by first pursuing their Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in the field of psychology. You can choose from a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of the Arts. Your bachelor’s degree will require you to complete more than 120 total semester credits which require four years of committed education.

After you have acquired your BA, you will push on to your Master’s which will require an additional 54 semester credits.  Some universities in the state of New York offers hybrid programs that allow you to combine your Master’s and doctoral program in order to facilitate the process easier. Once you’ve accomplished your Master’s, you will move on toward your PsyD or Ph.D. in psychology.

You’ll need to make sure that your coursework adheres to the American Psychology Association’s guidelines , as well. Over this period of time, you’ll have to engage in nearly three study years and thirty hours of approved work with a grant program. You’ll also need a year of experience via an internship. Once your coursework is complete, and this is a process that could take up to eight years, you’ll be ready to approach your licensing.

Getting licensed in New York requires a multi-step approach that includes:

  • Submitting an application to the Office of Professions for something known as a limited permit. This will allow you to practice under direct supervision and will count toward your two years of mandatory licensing experience. This permit will last for three years.
  • Referencing supervised experience, you’ll have to acquire two full years of supervised professional experience in your field of education. The Board will require at least 1,750 total hours of work in the field in order to fulfill this requirement.
  • Additionally, you must also pass the core exams that are part of all licensing requests.  The exam you must pass is known as the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology and you will require at least a score of 75 to be able to move forward. At this point, your information will be pushed toward the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards.
  • Finally, you get to submit your application in order to receive your license.

Phd, clinical/counseling psychology.

The 69-72 credit PhD in Clinical/Counseling Psychology prepares you to become a licensed psychologist. This program operates from a scientist-practitioner model, emphasizing that academic scholarship and research are inseparable from clinical practice. Training integrates models traditionally associated with clinical psychology (health, wellness, and psychological science) and counseling psychology (strength- and asset-based, social justice-oriented, and multicultural perspectives), which together equip you to be a multi-faceted and culturally informed psychologist.

Core Course Sequence

The PhD in Clinical/Counseling Psychology core curriculum features foundations in psychological science, such as research design and neuropsychology of behavior, as well as psychological theories and skills, including multicultural counseling and ethical and professional issues. You’ll then apply these knowledge and skills in actual practice, both with research and clinical assessment and intervention work.

Sample Electives

You’ll have the opportunity to take several research and clinical electives. Research electives may include qualitative research design, advanced statistics offerings, or utilizing mixed methods designs. Clinical electives may include additional clinical theoretical orientations (like cognitive-behavioral therapy or brief dynamic psychotherapies) or work with specific populations (like therapies with children and adolescents or LGBTQ+ populations).

Culminating Experience

The PhD in Clinical/Counseling Psychology culminates in two applied experiences: the dissertation and the clinical internship. The doctoral dissertation integrates the research knowledge and skills you gained throughout the research program, contributing unique knowledge to the literature of psychology. The clinical internship is a yearlong, full-time placement in a mental health setting (like a hospital, college counseling center, or community mental health center), where you’ll apply clinical knowledge and skills to the full range of applied clinical work conducted by psychologists.  

Curricular Requirements

Program requirements, additional program requirements.

For completion of the doctorate, 69-72 credits beyond the bachelor's degree are required. Additionally, as part of undergraduate or other graduate work, 18 credits in psychology including a course in statistics are prerequisites to the PhD program.

A Practitioner-Scholar Training Philosophy

Our teaching and training philosophy is consistent with the practitioner-scholar model of training. The bidirectional integration of the functions of the practitioner and scholar is critical in translating and implementing empirically-based assessment and treatment approaches to diverse settings and furthering the scientific foundations of clinical psychology.

The program's practitioner-scholar training philosophy is aimed at producing psychologists who are both clinically and academically prepared to work as clinicians and researchers in a wide variety of settings. This program design is based on the premise that psychologists working in mental and physical healthcare settings need a strong foundation of clinical and research skills and is specifically designed to graduate skilled clinicians and scholars.

Our expert faculty members bring knowledge gained from their professional career and their own specialized clinical practice and research interests.

Health Emphasis: How Psychology Fits into an Integrated Health System

Our PsyD degree prepares you to work as a general psychologist, but also provides the specialty training to work within a larger medical environment and on the frontlines of a healthcare system that is increasingly interdisciplinary and integrated. Through your course work and clinical experiences, you’ll be trained to address mental health issues in a medical, as well as behavioral health, setting. You’ll take specialized courses in healthcare and aging, the healthcare system, and neuropsychological assessment, and clinical health psychology/behavioral medicine in addition to general and advanced courses in assessment, treatment, consultation, ethics, and diversity.

As a practicing psychologist on an integrated healthcare team, your work might vary from a 1-2 session conversation with a patient who is mildly depressed, to a long-term intervention as a patient copes with trauma or chronic disease. You might work in a setting in which you have brief sessions with a diabetic patient who is not adhering to their medication regimen or proper diet, treat a patient whose anxiety is interfering with daily activities, help patients with debilitating eating disorders, or work at a cardiac rehabilitation unit and help patients with stress reduction and lifestyle modification.

Clinical psychologists have important roles at medical centers, VA hospitals, long-term COVID facilities, and helping allied health care professionals with pain management, obesity, addiction, and medication mismanagement. In many medical settings, including primary and specialty care facilities, and behavioral health facilities, psychological treatment is increasingly emphasized for overall health and well-being.

The pandemic and health disparities have created a great deal of stress, impacting both mental and physical well-being. In this new world, our program emphasizes creating 21st century psychologists to respond to new and challenging realities. — Jeff Gardere, PhD, ABPP, Associate Professor

Becoming a Licensed Clinical Psychologist

In our Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) program, you’ll complete rigorous didactic coursework and earn the necessary pre-doctoral clinical experience for license eligibility in NYS.

After graduation, prior to receiving your NYS licensure, you’ll need to earn one year of additional experience practicing under the supervision of a professional psychologist and to pass the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology, which is the national licensing exam. In NYS you may choose to take your licensure exam right after graduation, or after completing your additional year of training.

All states and territories in the U.S. require licensure applicants to achieve a satisfactory score on the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP). Many states also require a jurisprudence examination (i.e., an examination covering the laws and rules governing the practice of psychology in that jurisdiction) and/or an oral examination in addition to the EPPP. Information on which jurisdictions require supplemental examinations, as well as other licensure-related information, can be found at www.asppb.net/page/psybook

Licensure Eligibility

Successfully completing our PsyD program, including the minimum requirement of 1750 internship hours, will meet minimum educational requirements for licensure in the following states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming

While the required 1750 internship hours are necessary to be licensed in New York State, the PsyD program encourages students to complete 2000 internship hours, which would allow them to meet the educational licensing requirements in all 50 states.

PsyD Program Curriculum

Our clinical psychology program is built on a foundation of psychological science and emphasizes cognitive-behavioral models of practice, and trains you in evidence-based therapies as well as other interventions with demonstrated empirical support. In this doctoral program, you’ll gain a wide range of clinical experience working with culturally, ethnically, and racially diverse populations across the life span. You’ll learn about healthcare disparities and how to bring this understanding into your clinical practice.

Didactic Coursework

During the first year of the program, you’ll take an intensive series of foundational courses in the psychological sciences that prepare you for later clinical training. Later in the program, you balance more advanced didactic courses with clinical training experiences and are engaged in scholarly activities throughout.

Learn more about academic coursework and externship on our PsyD Academics page.

Externship (Practicum)

Second, third, and fourth-year doctoral students take part in closely monitored externships at one of 50 respected training sites in the New York-New Jersey metro area. These externship opportunities are in outpatient, inpatient, medical, and local mental health facilities.

Dissertation

During the 3rd and 4th years in the program, you will work on your doctoral dissertation under the supervision of a program faculty member. The dissertation demonstrates your ability to think critically and address an area of clinical interest.

The 5th year is mainly focused on a full-time clinical internship in clinical psychology. In this position, you’ll apply what you’ve learned in your practicum and coursework and work under the supervision of licensed clinical psychologists. Finding an institution for your internship is competitive and involves a national match process.

Our PsyD Prepares You For the Future of Healthcare & Psychology

Faculty Research Interests

Our PsyD program faculty members are distinguished scholars and clinical practitioners with varied research interests. During the program, PsyD candidates will be directly involved with faculty research projects.

2024:Q2 Quarterly Highlights

Labor market conditions improved slightly for recent college graduates in the second quarter of 2024. The unemployment rate edged down to 4.5 percent and the underemployment rate inched lower to 40.5 percent.

This web feature tracks employment data for recent college graduates across the United States since 1990, allowing for a historical perspective on the experience of those moving into the labor market.

  • compare the unemployment rate for recent college graduates with that of other groups
  • monitor the underemployment rate of recent college graduates

A table tracks outcomes by college major with the latest available annual data.

How to cite this report:

Federal Reserve Bank of New York, The Labor Market for Recent College Graduates, https://nyfed.org/collegelabor.

Related reading:

The data do not represent official estimates of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, its President, the Federal Reserve System, or the Federal Open Market Committee.

We describe the framework for this analysis in “Underemployment in the Early Careers of College Graduates following the Great Recession” (NBER Studies in Income and Wealth ) and “Are Recent College Graduates Finding Good Jobs?,” a 2014 article in the New York Fed’s Current Issues in Economics and Finance series. These papers examine more than two decades of data on the employment outcomes of recent college graduates across the United States, and contain more details and historical perspective.

We launched this web feature to make some of the data featured in these papers available on a timely and updated basis. New unemployment and underemployment data for recent college graduates post on a quarterly basis (typically in February, May, August, and November), and wages and outcome data for college graduates are released on an annual basis (typically in February). Data extend from 1990 to the present. Periodic analysis of these data are published on the Liberty Street Economics blog.

Our definition of underemployment is based on the kinds of jobs held by college graduates. A college graduate working in a job that typically does not require a college degree is considered underemployed. We use survey data from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Information Network (O*NET) Education and Training Questionnaire to help determine whether a bachelor’s degree is required to perform a job. The articles cited above describe our approach in detail.

Some additional research that utilizes these data include “Working as a Barista After College Is Not as Common as You Might Think” ( Liberty Street Economics ).

Our underemployment figures are calculated as a percentage holding a bachelor’s degree or higher, so they do include those with graduate and professional degrees. See the notes below the x-axis on the Underemployment chart for more detail.

The “Share with Graduate Degree” column in the table represents, for each college major, the percentage of workers with a bachelor’s degree that also possesses a graduate degree of any kind. For example, 50.2 percent of those with a bachelor’s degree in history also possess some kind of graduate degree, based on February 2022 data.

All data presented here are national measures.

Unfortunately, we do not.

No, we only publish data that encompass the most recent year period available to utilize from the American Community Survey, which serves as the source for our analysis.

We do not have updated data by gender available in this web feature, but we did provide some gender analysis in “Underemployment in the Early Careers of College Graduates following the Great Recession.”

Unfortunately, at this time, our analysis only pertains to those with at least a bachelor’s degree.

No. Through 2023:Q2, we examined the types of jobs held by those who are underemployed, categorizing jobs broadly by skill level and pay to generate time series data for the percentages of graduates holding “good non-college jobs” and “low-wage jobs.” Starting with the 2023:Q3 update, the web feature will no longer include the data series for "underemployed job types," although historical data remain available for download .

In our definition, early career graduates are those aged 22 to 27, and mid-career graduates are those aged 35 to 45.
