The Division of Clinical Science comprises four graduate programs in the areas of Clinical Psychology, Clinical Sciences, Radiological Sciences, and Rehabilitation Counseling Psychology. These programs are designed to give the student an in depth understanding of the role that rigorous, science-driven research plays in the accomplishment of clinical goals. All programs share a common on-line application, while each program has its own application, requirements, deadline and admissions committee.
For more information on courses offered please refer to the Southwestern Graduate School Online Catalog.
Clinical Psychology - Ph.D. The curriculum is designed as a full-time, four-year program, including four summers of full-time work. During the academic year, students may simultaneously be involved in classes, seminars, research apprenticeship, and clinical assignments. Summers are primarily devoted to research apprenticeship and clinical assignments.
Research apprenticeships are scheduled for the third and fourth years. Assignments are typically two and a half days per week during the fall, spring and summer semesters. The APA-approved Clinical Internship is a two-year, half-time experience during the 3rd and 4th years of the program. Clinical and research experiences are offered in a wide variety of settings. Information on admission requirements and deadlines is available. 
Clinical Sciences - M.S. The goal of the Clinical Sciences training program is to provide in-depth training and practical experience to foster development of independent investigators committed to careers in patient-oriented research.
The curriculum is designed to provide maximum flexibility for each trainee to pursue a career across the spectrum of human research including translational research, clinical trials, mechanisms of disease, observational studies, outcomes research, health services and health policy research, pathophysiological studies, genetic medicine, and computational biology. Information on admission requirements and deadlines is available.
Radiological Sciences - M.S. and Ph.D. The Radiological Sciences Graduate Program teaches the application, control and development of the physical and chemical methods and techniques used in solving basic biological and clinical problems.
Students in the program gain knowledge and research experience in both laboratory and clinical aspects of radiological sciences by collaborating with basic scientists and clinicians. Contact Kay Emerson for admission requirements and deadlines.
Rehabilitation Counseling Psychology - M.S. Rehabilitation Counseling Psychology is the process of assisting individuals to adjust, accept, and redesign dreams and goals. The Masters program trains graduate students in the skills required to become an independent practitioner or work as a contributing member of an interdisciplinary team providing services to people who have a mental, psychological, or physical disability.
Graduates work in a variety of venues, including state and federal rehabilitation agencies, rehabilitation centers, employment services, sheltered workshops, prisons, hospitals, clinics, welfare offices, educational facilities, and private rehabilitation centers. Information on admission requirements and deadlines is available.
