PhD Psychology

The PhD program in Psychology provides the same diversity in individual approaches to program planning and the study of psychology as the MA degree, but with a greater range of opportunity to broaden and deepen knowledge, interests, and areas of academic and professional development. 

The 79 credit program provides you with the opportunity to build upon the foundation provided by an MA degree, from one of Saybrook's Colleges, or elsewhere. You can develop your own plan from a wide range of options to further develop areas of knowledge, skill, and expertise to expand the range of future opportunities and endeavors in your professional life. 

This program is not a clinical psychology program. However, it can allow you to further develop your clinical knowledge and expertise, and give you more flexibility in program planning than the Clinical Psychology Specialization program provides. This is particularly helpful if you want to enhance your clinical skills but do not intend to use the degree to qualify for licensure.
