The U.S. News & World Report recently released rankings for the best graduate school programs in the country, and the University of Nevada, Reno’s Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program ranked 70th out of over 200 programs in the nation.
“We are very pleased with the recognition by U.S. News & World Report of our excellent program. We are also pleased that the program is continuing an impressive upward trajectory with the recent hiring of several top clinical scientists,” said Michael Crognale, chair of the Department of Psychology.
“I’m so proud of our faculty, who work hard to ensure that our students have access to a top-tier education,” said Louisa Hope-Weeks, dean of the College of Science.
The clinical psychology program provides students with training opportunities through the University’s Psychological Services Center. Graduate students work, under faculty supervision, to help patients with science-backed psychological support. The Psychological Services Center offers low-cost mental health treatment for a variety of backgrounds and needs and offers services in Spanish. The clinical psychology program has been accredited by the American Psychological Association since 1972.
