Palo Alto Students

The program's professors draw from their academic studies and professional experience to provide students with the background they will need to be successful to prepare for a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology or related fields.  The faculty members are for the most part, full-time PAU faculty who teach in the doctoral programs.  They typically teach the same courses on campus as they do in this program.
