The two-year (39 hour) graduate program in Clinical Psychological Assessment prepares students to become highly qualified clinicians in the administration and interpretation of assessment of cognitive function, behavior, personality, and psychopathology. Graduates may seek employment in:
- Schools
- Community mental health centers
- Hospitals
- Other health agencies
This training will include a foundation in core areas of psychological science, knowledge and etiology of psychopathology, professional ethics, and course work and practicum training in psychological assessment. Students will obtain hands-on experience as part of their practicum training, working alongside licensed psychologists who are administering assessments professionally in Nashville as well as the surrounding areas. In addition, a final comprehensive exam will be required instead of a thesis following the completion of all coursework and the practicum.
