Recognized for its scholarly contribution and real-world application, the faculty and students in the Department of Psychology form a tight-knit and academically intensive community. Based in New York City, with research and understanding that affects policies and people around the world, the department contributes to a tradition of psychological scholarship sensitive to social, cultural, and political concerns.

At the master's level, the Department of Psychology offers a program in general psychology that provides students with in-depth training in all the major fields of psychology. After students complete their master's degree, there are two doctoral programs to which they can apply through a separate application process: either the PhD in Cognitive, Social, and Developmental Psychology (CSD) or the PhD in Clinical Psychology.

We promote an interdisciplinary approach to psychological issues and foster interaction between the CSD and Clinical Psychology programs. PhD students are free to work with faculty from either area. In the MA program, students have the option of using their elective courses to take the three courses that comprise the Concentration in Mental Health and Substance Abuse Counseling. These courses satisfy the academic requirements to qualify as a licensed substance abuse counselor, after completing the required hours of supervised externship credit.

Doctor of Philosophy Psychology and Social Intervention

The Psychology and Social Intervention (PSI) doctorate prepares action scientists for diverse roles in academia and social research. You will be prepared to understand, transform, and improve the contexts and systems in which humans develop across the lifespan.

Degree Details

Official degree title.

PhD in Psychology and Social Intervention

Mission Statement

Our  mission is to train social scientists to (a) critically explore  the experiences of people in the contexts and systems in which they develop across the lifespan and (b) use knowledge to address  longstanding inequities in settings and systems. Our work is grounded in the belief that  empirically based knowledge about “persons in settings” is a key mechanism for achieving racial justice, social justice, and equity and for changing systems and settings as well as individuals. Training in PSI is actively interdisciplinary, drawing on theories and approaches from multiple  fields in  psychology (including developmental, community, political,  and social psychology) and other social and behavioral sciences. We conduct research and action in close partnership with key stakeholders while centering community voice and perspectives. Our training goals include fostering students’ abilities to:

(a) Conceptualize and measure (i) individual cognitive and psychosocial development and (ii)  the social settings, systems, and policies in which individuals are embedded;

(b) Understand the psychological impact of various forms of diversity, conflict, and structural inequity among individuals, groups, institutions, communities, and societies; and

(c) Design, improve, implement and evaluate prevention, intervention and policy strategies toward positive social change; and

(d) Utilize state-of-the art quantitative and qualitative and mixed-methods approaches to addressing individual and system-level phenomena.

PSI faculty and students study a wide range of contexts and systems (e.g., families, schools, neighborhoods, programs, juvenile justice systems,social movements,  intergroup contexts, policy contexts and macro-level economic and social structures) and interventions (e.g., psychological, social, educational and health programs and policies), locally, nationally and internationally. Our faculty also conduct research on how social psychological factors, cultural and racial identities, and marginalization influence and interact with people’s experiences of contexts, systems and interventions. New York University provides an ideal global network  for studying many kinds of communities in the US and other regions of the world, including Latin American countries, South Asia, the Middle East, and Sub-Saharan Africa.

PSI faculty collaborate closely with one another, as well as with other social, behavioral, health and policy scientists at NYU and other universities, and with service, community and policy organizations. PSI faculty direct or co-direct a number of affiliated institutes and centers at NYU, including the Institute for Human Development and Social Change, Global TIES for Children, the Metropolitan Center for Research on Equity and the Transformation of Schools (METRO), and A Research Center for Interconnected Approachs for Suicide Prevention (Arcadia).

You should apply to PSI if you…

• are committed to conducting applied research to promote justice and equity

want to develop conceptual and methodological skills to understand the interplay between people and settings/social systems

want to take an interdisciplinary approach to research

want to work in partnership with practitioners, policy makers, and community members

want to work in academia, industry, government, policy, program development and others!

• Please review our FAQ page to find out more information about the PSI program and application process.
• If you have any additional questions about our degree, please feel free to contact us at [email protected] .

PSI is a research-intensive degree with a strong quantitative training component that places a strong emphasis on:

• understanding and assessing social settings, systems, and policies;
• creating/improving, implementing and evaluating prevention and intervention programs; and
• understanding various forms of diversity and structural inequality among individuals, institutions, communities, and societies.

Students work collaboratively with faculty mentors on a range of activities, including study design, data collection and analysis, manuscript preparation, conference presentations, policy briefs, and evaluation activities.

Program faculty study a wide range of ecologies (e.g., families, schools, neighborhoods, policy contexts, programs) and preventive and policy interventions (e.g., psychological, social, educational and health programs) locally, nationally and internationally. Our faculty also conduct research on how cultural factors and identities influence and interact with experiences of these ecologies and interventions. Our New York City location provides an ideal urban setting for studying many kinds of communities, combined with gateways to the world at large.

In the PSI program, we focus on providing the framework to help you:

develop methodological skills that enable analysis of change over time and within and across levels of human ecology

acquire abilities to apply psychological and social science principles to the understanding of social settings, social/cultural contexts, and social and policy interventions

develop abilities to conceptualize, interpret, evaluate and disseminate evidence-based social and policy interventions; and develop the ethical, interpersonal, organizational, and technical capacities to undertake high-quality professional work in psychology and social intervention

The PSI doctorate trains social scientists to work in a variety of settings so they understand the experiences of people in the contexts and systems in which they develop across the lifespan, and can transform and improve these contexts and systems. 

Our degree prepares students for diverse roles in academia and applied research. In the academic arena, our students are well positioned for jobs in psychology, human development, education, public health, and public policy. In the area of applied research, you will be prepared to obtain positions in research organizations, policy institutes, social service agencies, community-based organizations, and advocacy. 

Our rigorous theoretical and empirical training will position you extremely well to respond to the ever-increasing demand for evidence-based prevention and intervention strategies in health, education, and social services.

It is clear that the professors are very knowledgeable and provide students with the quality education needed to become excellent clinicians. The clinical faculty does an amazing job at supporting their students and allowing them to develop clinical skills for all types of speech and language disorders. This program does so much more than just providing students with education on the field of speech-language pathology. Students are constantly challenged to use complex skills like analytical thinking, collaborating with peers, and so much more. This program can be very demanding at times and requires students to put in a lot of work in the clinical and classroom settings.

Message From Our President

Dear Students, Faculty, Staff and Friends,

I am pleased to present to you this Guide to our plans for the upcoming fall semester and reopening of our campuses. In form and in content, this coming semester will be like no other. We will live differently, work differently and learn differently. But in its very difference rests its enormous power. The mission of Yeshiva University is to enrich the moral, intellectual and spiritual development of each of our students, empowering them with the knowledge and abilities to become people of impact and leaders of tomorrow. Next year’s studies will be especially instrumental in shaping the course of our students’ lives. Character is formed and developed in times of deep adversity. This is the kind of teachable moment that Yeshiva University was made for. As such, we have developed an educational plan for next year that features a high-quality student experience and prioritizes personal growth during this Coronavirus era. Our students will be able to work through the difficulties, issues and opportunities posed by our COVID-19 era with our stellar rabbis and faculty, as well as their close friends and peers at Yeshiva. 

To develop our plans for the fall, we have convened a Scenario Planning Task Force made up of representatives across the major areas of our campus. Their planning has been guided by the latest medical information, government directives, direct input from our rabbis, faculty and students, and best practices from industry and university leaders across the country. I am deeply thankful to our task force members and all who supported them for their tireless work in addressing the myriad details involved in bringing students back to campus and restarting our educational enterprise. In concert with the recommendations from our task force, I am announcing today that our fall semester will reflect a hybrid model. It will allow many students to return in a careful way by incorporating online and virtual learning with on-campus classroom instruction. It also enables students who prefer to not be on campus to have a rich student experience by continuing their studies online and benefitting from a full range of online student services and extracurricular programs. In bringing our students back to campus, safety is our first priority. Many aspects of campus life will change for this coming semester. Gatherings will be limited, larger courses will move completely online. Throughout campus everyone will need to adhere to our medical guidelines, including social distancing, wearing facemasks, and our testing and contact tracing policies. Due to our focus on minimizing risk, our undergraduate students will begin the first few weeks of the fall semester online and move onto the campus after the Jewish holidays. This schedule will limit the amount of back and forth travel for our students by concentrating the on-campus component of the fall semester to one consecutive segment. Throughout our planning, we have used the analogy of a dimmer switch. Reopening our campuses will not be a simple binary, like an on/off light switch, but more like a dimmer in which we have the flexibility to scale backwards and forwards to properly respond as the health situation evolves. It is very possible that some plans could change, depending upon the progression of the virus and/or applicable state and local government guidance. Before our semester begins, we will provide more updates reflecting our most current guidance. Please check our website, yu.edu/fall2020 for regular updates. We understand that even after reading through this guide, you might have many additional questions, so we will be posting an extensive FAQ section online as well. Additionally, we will also be holding community calls for faculty, students, staff and parents over the next couple of months. Planning for the future during this moment has certainly been humbling. This Coronavirus has reminded us time and time again of the lessons from our Jewish tradition that we are not in full control of our circumstances. But our tradition also teaches us that we are in control of our response to our circumstances. Next semester will present significant challenges and changes. There will be some compromises and minor inconveniences--not every issue has a perfect solution. But faith and fortitude, mutual cooperation and resilience are essential life lessons that are accentuated during this period. And if we all commit to respond with graciousness, kindness, and love, we can transform new campus realities into profound life lessons for our future. Deeply rooted in our Jewish values and forward focused in preparing for the careers and competencies of the future, we journey together with you, our Yeshiva University community, through these uncharted waters. Next year will be a formative year in the lives of our students, and together we will rise to the moment so that our students will emerge stronger and better prepared to be leaders of the world of tomorrow.

Best Wishes, Ari Berman

PsyD in Clinical Psychology

Students have been receiving doctoral training in the Clinical Program at Yeshiva University’s Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology for more than 50 years. The PsyD in Clinical Psychology was established in 1979 and has been fully accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA) since 1985.

Our mission is to provide students with doctoral-level training in the conceptual and empirical foundations of clinical psychology, to enable them to become knowledgeable and thoughtful academic scholars, and to train them intensively in a variety of assessment, research, and therapeutic approaches. Students are exposed to a curriculum that integrates relevant research and the scientific foundations of psychology, applied theories, field training, and practical experiences within a wide range of psychological services.

The PsyD in Clinical Psychology (five-year program; 116 credits), provides students with the knowledge and skills to assume the role of professional psychologist in diverse settings. The program provides a full-time sequence of training that consists of four years of coursework, practica, and supervised experiences, culminating a full-time internship in the fifth year.

Program Director Dr. Kenneth Critchfield  [email protected]  646.592.4517

PhD in Clinical Psychology with Health Emphasis

The PhD in Clinical Psychology with Health Emphasis is designed for full-time students to train in the ethical science and practice of clinical psychology with an additional emphasis on the interaction of physical and mental health. The program espouses the scientist/practitioner model, which places equal emphasis on clinical and research training. Furthermore, in our view, research and clinical practice are highly integrated and mutually informative.

The overarching mission of the program is to train qualified clinicians, academic scholars, and applied researchers in clinical psychology. Embedded in this mission statement are core values of Yeshiva University that include: (1) bringing wisdom to life; (2) love of knowledge for its own sake; (3) a commitment to excellence in teaching and research; and (4) the view that liberal arts and social sciences are compatible with high ethical and moral standards.

This program is fully accredited by the American Psychological Association.

PsyD in School-Clinical Child Psychology

The PsyD in School-Clinical Child Psychology (five-year program; 110 credits), provides students with the knowledge and skills to assume the role of a professional psychologist who can work in diverse settings across the lifespan. The program provides a full-time sequence of training that consists of four years of coursework, practica, and externships, culminating in a full-time internship in the fifth year. 

The program's mission is to provide doctoral-level training through an interdisciplinary model that concentrates on both school and clinical child psychology. Students are prepared to deliver psychological and psycho-educational services to adults, children, adolescents and their families in mental health settings, urban and suburban schools, early childhood centers and other related learning environments.

Ph.D. Requirements and Goals

Course requirements for the Ph.D. degree include: ✓ a minimum of 90 academic credits completed within the Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology (up to 15 credits can be transferred in from other accredited Master's Programs in Psychology at the discretion of the Program Director) ✓ 500 hours of face-to-face clinical work at The Psychological Center ✓ a year-long internship ✓ a dissertation thesis The curriculum has broad and general courses as well as treatment-oriented and specialized courses. We offer sequences in research methods, assessment, clinical practical, theory, psychopathology, evidence-based treatments, and diversity & difference. The following is a model course of study that students may adjust depending on individual need.

At the end of the Ph.D. program, students will demonstrate knowledge of statistical analysis, research design, and the existing empirical literature in clinical psychology, as well as the implementation of that knowledge in clinical practice and in designing and implementing independent research.

At the end of the Ph.D. program, students will demonstrate knowledge and actions consistent with the APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct, relevant laws and professional standards, as well as the ability to recognize ethical dilemmas and to apply ethical decision-making processes.

At the end of the Ph.D. program, students will demonstrate understanding, knowledge and respect for individual and cultural differences, and of how it impacts their research and clinical work.

At the end of the Ph.D. program, students will behave in ways that reflect the values and attitudes of psychology.

At the end of the Ph.D. program, students will demonstrate effective interpersonal skills, as well as appropriate and clear nonverbal, written and oral communication skills.

At the end of the Ph.D. program students will demonstrate comprehension and competency in the clinical assessment of cognitive and personality functioning.

At the end of the Ph.D. program students will demonstrate comprehension of and competency in implementing a range of psychotherapeutic interventions in a culturally-competent manner to a range of disadvantaged, diverse populations.

At the end of the Ph.D. program, students will demonstrate knowledge of supervision models and practices and an openness to clinical supervision.

At the end of the Ph.D. program, students will demonstrate knowledge and respect for the roles and perspectives of other professions, and knowledge of consultation models and practices.

The first doctoral examination is an open-book six-question written exam with each question provided by a faculty member who teaches a first-year required course. These essays are read by the DCT and scored on a pass/fail basis. The first docs occur in the summer leading into year 2 of the program for students.

The Research & Scholarship Project (RSP) is an empirical study using qualitative and/or quantitative methods that culminates in a poster to be presented at Research and Scholarship Day in November of the second year and a paper due May 1st of a student’s second year. The RSP may involve the development of a research proposal and application for IRB approval of the study(if needed), and to enrich their research experiences, students are additionally encouraged to submit their RSP to either professional conferences (as a poster or paper presentation) or as a journal article. Thus, the RSP and poster presentation affords an opportunity to evaluate how well students have applied the research skills learned and developed in related coursework and in the RSG.

The Second Doctoral Qualifying Examination involves preparing a 35-40 page case analysis and presenting this paper in both written and oral formats. This assessment requires students to provide a clear and detailed case history and diagnostic conceptualization; to integrate theory and empirical research relevant to case conceptualization and treatment; and to examine diversity and ethical issues that arise in the provision of patient care.

Completion of the dissertation constitutes the final step in the academic sequence of our training Program. While the RSP must be empirical, dissertations may be empirical (quantitative, qualitative, or mixed method), or theoretical. The student works closely through the proposal, data collection, analysis, and completion stages of the dissertation with a three-member committee. Completion of the dissertation is the capstone project by which we evaluate research and scholarship competencies. Students must demonstrate mastery of implementing an independent research or scholarly project, analyze the results independently, and integrate their results with the existing literature. The completed study is presented as a written document and as an oral presentation open to the community prior to graduation.

How To Become A Practicing Psychologist In New York

Becoming a licensed and certified psychologist in the state of New York requires commitment and dedication. Not only do you have to have all of the required education, which we will highlight further on, you must also be possessed of high moral character while meeting or exceeding testing scores on a variety of different subjects.

Individuals interested in pursuing a psychologist license will have to start by first pursuing their Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in the field of psychology. You can choose from a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of the Arts. Your bachelor’s degree will require you to complete more than 120 total semester credits which require four years of committed education.

After you have acquired your BA, you will push on to your Master’s which will require an additional 54 semester credits.  Some universities in the state of New York offers hybrid programs that allow you to combine your Master’s and doctoral program in order to facilitate the process easier. Once you’ve accomplished your Master’s, you will move on toward your PsyD or Ph.D. in psychology.

You’ll need to make sure that your coursework adheres to the American Psychology Association’s guidelines , as well. Over this period of time, you’ll have to engage in nearly three study years and thirty hours of approved work with a grant program. You’ll also need a year of experience via an internship. Once your coursework is complete, and this is a process that could take up to eight years, you’ll be ready to approach your licensing.

Getting licensed in New York requires a multi-step approach that includes:

• Submitting an application to the Office of Professions for something known as a limited permit. This will allow you to practice under direct supervision and will count toward your two years of mandatory licensing experience. This permit will last for three years.
• Referencing supervised experience, you’ll have to acquire two full years of supervised professional experience in your field of education. The Board will require at least 1,750 total hours of work in the field in order to fulfill this requirement.
• Additionally, you must also pass the core exams that are part of all licensing requests.  The exam you must pass is known as the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology and you will require at least a score of 75 to be able to move forward. At this point, your information will be pushed toward the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards.
• Finally, you get to submit your application in order to receive your license.

Bryant to launch doctoral program in clinical psychology

S MITHFIELD, R.I. (WPRI) — Bryant University’s School of Health and Behavioral Sciences (SHBS) will house the school’s first doctoral program.

In a campus-wide email, President Ross Gittell announced the upcoming Doctor of Clinical Psychology degree, saying, “This degree represents Bryant at its best – addressing challenges with bold and strategic solutions.”

“There is a severe mental health crisis not only in the nation but in Rhode Island, in Southern New England, and the pandemic accelerated that,” explained SHBS Associate Director Joe Trunzo.

He told 12 News students enrolled in the program will receive high-quality classroom instruction that ultimately prepares them for clinical placements where mental health services are most needed across Rhode Island.

In 2021, the National Alliance on Mental Illness identified 178,000 adults in Rhode Island as having a mental health condition. Of those adults, 61,000 of those who needed mental health care were not able to receive it.

Bryant’s new program five-year program hopes to boost the number of licensed psychologists in the state, which was hovering between 411 and 590 doctors in 2022 , according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Students will be able to choose between concentrations in health psychology or child and adolescent psychology. Applications open in September 2024, and the university plans to welcome its first cohort of Psy.D. candidates in September 2025.
