Dr. Alan Gross Director of Clinical Training 662-915-5186 The clinical program is accredited
by the American
Psychological Association (APA).* Completion of
the program ordinarily requires five years beyond the
bachelor's degree to complete. This time is devoted to a
combination of course work, research, and a full-time
clinical internship at an APA-approved training site.
Requirements for the master's degree are also fulfilled
during this period. However, the M.A. is considered to
be a step in the doctoral training and not a terminal
degree. The clinical program adheres to the
scientist-practitioner model and emphasizes an empirical
approach to clinical practice. A social learning or
behavioral approach characterizes the clinical training
offered. The first two years of
graduate study in the clinical area entail completion of
a basic curriculum of academic scientific psychology
covering such areas as statistics, learning,
physiological, psychometrics, psychopathology,
cognitive-intellectual assessment, personality
assessment, social, developmental, systems of
psycho-therapy, and behavior modification. Structured
clinical and research activities are also scheduled
during the initial two years of training. The third
and fourth years are devoted primarily to elective
courses, practica, and research. The practicum
experiences are provided on the campus and in a
variety of community settings at increasing levels of
independence, under the supervision of staff
professionals. The fifth year is devoted to an internship
at an APA-approved facility. The department assumes
responsibility for assisting the student in selection of
an appropriate internship and for maintaining liaison
with the student and the immediate supervisor during the
internship. Tuition and fees: Mississippi
residents $6282, non- residents $16,264 per semester All of our students receive
in-state tuition, and depending upon the level of
departmental assistantship they receive, they also
receive tuition waivers of either 75% or 100%. In accordance with the policies of
the Council of University Directors of Clinical
Psychology Programs (CUDCP),
the clinical psychology program at the University of
Mississippi makes student
admissions,
outcomes, and other data available on its
students. *The APA can be contacted in
