About NNU's Doctorate in Clinical Psychology
Our Doctorate in Clinical Psychology program is designed to be a dual entry-point 4- or 5-year program, accommodating those entering with any bachelor’s degree (including 18 specific pre-requisite psychology classes) or those with a master’s degree in psychology, counseling or social work.
The full 5-year program, for those entering with a post-bachelor degree, consists of 121 credits—4 years of coursework and a dissertation, with a final pre-doctoral internship year. Those entering with a master’s degree bypass the first two semesters, allowing for a second entry point into the Psy.D. program with only 104 credits.
The program includes a 3- or 4-year full-time academic residency requirement depending on entry, followed by a full-time 1-year internship experience.
New cohorts begin every year. Applications open in September of the preceding year and the final application deadline is January 15. Accelerated Standing students (master's level) start every May. General Standing Students (BA level) start every August. Classes meet in person on our main campus in Nampa, Idaho.
NNU is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU). The NNU Psy.D. program will be submitting an Intent to Apply application to the American Psychological Association (APA) Commission on Accreditation in the summer of 2023.
