The Doctor of Psychology (PhD, DPsy)
goal is to prepare students for the general
practice of professional clinical psychology
including education and training regarding
the broader social and systemic factors
that contribute to human dysfunction such
as poverty, oppression, and marginalization.
The program will help students develop evaluation
techniques and assessment, psychological
foundations, remediation and intervention
procedures, and program evaluation and research.
The Psychology program is designed to advance
the professional development of experienced
psychology graduates and professionals in
the psychology arena by extending their
knowledge and equipping them with broad
research and process psychology skills,
enabling them to make a key leadership contribution
to their chosen fields.
AIU’s Doctorate degree in Psychology
goes one step further by allowing students
to study and research multiple key areas
of computer science to develop a unique
foundation of practical knowledge and computer
science theory.
Your AIU Distance Learning Doctorate program
in Psychology will be a custom-made program,
designed just for you by you and your advisor.
This flexibility to meet your needs is seldom
found in other distance learning programs.
Our program does not require every student
to study the same subjects and use the same
books and other learning materials as every
other student. Instead our online Doctoral
programs are designed just for you. They
are individually designed to meet your needs
and help you to reach your professional
and personal goals.
