The PhD in Clinical Psychology is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the American Psychological Association. It is one of the few clinical programs that combine a psychoanalytic emphasis with adherence to the scientist-practitioner model.

It also recognizes the importance of understanding the roles of culture and context in mediating healthy psychological development, psychopathology, and psychotherapeutic change.
