PSY 8800 Comprehensive Examination

The comprehensive examination provides an opportunity to assess academic and professional competence in psychology. Preparing for and taking the examination encourages the integration of all facets of doctoral education completed during the first two years of the program. The examination is considered in evaluating learners' readiness to take on the increased professional responsibilities and for readiness of the doctoral project phase. Learners are given three opportunities to pass the examination during the learner’s entire tenure within the PsyD program. Learners who fail the comprehensive exam course three times will be dismissed from the PsyD program.
