SAN DIEGO, Oct. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The
California School of Professional
Psychology (CSPP) at Alliant
International University's clinical psychology Ph.D. degree
program at its Fresno campus has
just received a 10-year re-accreditation by the American
Psychological association (APA)— the highest level of
re-accreditation offered by the association.
Each of Alliant's nine clinical psychology doctoral programs is
accredited by the APA's Commission on Accreditation. The
Fresno program is the latest to
have received the maximum re-accreditation. APA awards
accreditation based on program performance. The accreditors review
the curriculum, training opportunities, faculty credentials, and
program resources. They also look at outcomes such as time to
completion, attrition rates, and graduates' success in attaining
licensure. Another important outcome is students' success in
gaining internships. For 2017/18, 91% of Fresno's Clinical Psychology Ph.D. students
were placed in APA-accredited internships, and 9% were placed in
Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers
(APPIC) member internships.
"This re-accreditation further highlights the exceptional
efforts of our Fresno program's
expert faculty and staff and the quality of education and hands-on
training that our Clinical Psychology students receive," said CSPP
Dean Dalia Ducker, Ph.D. "CSPP was the first independent school
dedicated to professional psychology, and this news highlights the
fact that we are also the future of professional psychology—we
couldn't be more proud of continuing this legacy on the eve of
CSPP's 50th anniversary."
