3. What is the added value of selecting an APA-accredited program?
If you’re studying clinical, counseling or school psychology, choosing an APAaccredited doctoral program increases your career options. Many internships require students to attend an APA-accredited program, and some state licensing agencies and employers — including academic institutions and government agencies — likewise require a diploma from an APAaccredited doctoral program. APA accreditation also helps provide some assurance that you’ll receive a quality education. To be awarded accreditation, a program must demonstrate that it meets a set of standards established by APA’s Commission on Accreditation — for example, it has to have qualified faculty and adequate facilities and student support services, and it must publicly disclose its requirements and policies.
