About NNU's Doctorate in Clinical Psychology
The PsyD 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 127 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 year, allowing for a second entry point into the PsyD program.
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 (masters 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 spring of 2023.

Early on in my academic journey I realized that the NNU community really cared about your success—and not just in the classroom setting. Everyone at NNU wants to see you grow in all aspects of your life. The professors care about you both in and out of their classroom. I wasn’t just “another student” but a valuable member of the NNU community.
