Once admitted to degree candidacy, each student will meet with an advisor and complete a Plan of Study. Each plan of study will include at least 42 hours of classroom credit and the completion of either a thesis or a clinical internship. In addition, those students who have written a thesis will be required to defend the thesis orally before the graduate faculty. Students choosing to complete a clinical internship will be required to sit for an oral examination before the Psychology Graduate Committee. No course in which a candidate received lower than a “C” may be applied towards graduation and only 3 semester hours of coursework in which a “C” was earned may be applied.
