Combined School and Clinical Psychology, Psy.D.
Program Description
Kean University’s Psy.D. Program in Combined School and Clinical Psychology prepares general practice, primary care, and health service psychologists who are competent to function in a variety of professional and academic settings and roles. This goal is achieved by intentionally combining and integrating education and training across the two practice areas of school psychology and clinical psychology, providing students with a wide breadth and depth of training in both psychological practice areas. By deeply integrating these two practice areas throughout the curriculum, the combined training program model prepares students to function as clinical or school psychologists in a wide variety of professional and academic positions, thus increasing career flexibility and marketability.
