What is Clinical Psychology?Clinical psychology is a diverse field. Some clinical psychologists provide psychological services, including assessment, testing, diagnosis, and treatment, to adults and children in hospital and private practice settings. Others conduct research on causes, consequences, and treatment of psychological disorders. Still others work in academic settings combining teaching, research, and clinical work. In order to be licensed as a clinical psychologist or to teach at a college or university, one must earn a doctoral degree from an APA-accredited graduate program. Students who earn a terminal masters in clinical psychology may become licensed clinical professional counselors following completion of additional coursework and field placement hours. The Towson University clinical psychology MA program adopts an evidence-based practices model. Students receive training in diagnostic, personality, and intellectual assessment, evidence-based case conceptualization and interviewing, empirically supported treatments, ethics, and research methods. The program consists of a minimum of 46 credit hours including a 500 hour clinical or research internship in the community. The purpose of this internship is to permit students to further develop their clinical and research skills. Students who graduate from our program are prepared to apply for admission to doctoral programs in clinical psychology (both PsyD and PhD), work as psychometricians or behavioral specialists, or serve as project directors on applied research studies. A few of our students also go on to become licensed clinical professional counselors (LCPCs). Is Clinical Psychology right for me?

You do have a chance, but you will really need to do well on the GRE. Your overall GPA is not too bad at all and the admission committee cares more about the last two years than the first two years. The fact that your Major GPA is a 4.0 works to your advantage. Now you just need to shoot for at bare minimum, an 1100 on your GRE.
