Jackson State University (JSU) was approved by the Board of Trustees of Institutions of Higher Learning of the State of Mississippi to begin its Ph.D., program in clinical psychology in 1995 with an inaugural class of six doctoral candidates. The American Psychological Association awarded our program accreditation in 2001, and the first doctoral dissertation defense occurred in 2002. The program was first reaccredited in 2005, and then accredited in 2010.<\/p>\n

Students in this program immersed into a curriculum anchored in the cumulative body of psychological knowledge, with a firm basis in statistics, research design, and experimental methodology. The program develops a comprehensive knowledge base and teaches skills to improve the students’ ability to effectively function as an empirically-oriented clinical psychologist in diverse settings. This is accomplished through a sequence of formal clinical courses, and distinguished by an in-depth exploration of multicultural issues and exposure to ethnic minority communities.<\/p>\n
