Psy.D. in Analytical Psychology
The School of Cognitive and Behavioral Psychology’s Psy.D. in Analytical Psychology program is the curriculum aimed at applied aspects of the discipline. Its coursework is lighter, when compared to our Ph.D. program in the same discipline, as the practical application and professional experiences take up the greater part of the syllabus. Considering the practical nature of the specialization, no dissertation is required in this program.
During the first year students develop theoretical knowledge and skill in statistical and research methods. They take courses to ensure an all-embracing understanding of the discipline of psychology. The highly concentrated courses and wide-ranging practicums help them to acquire the basis of knowledge in their particular area of specialization. Through such methodical and rigorous path the students begin a program of research.
During the second year of study, students prepare for clinical and research practicums. The remainder of the student’s graduate career is spent in an applied (clinical) environment.
The School of Cognitive and Behavioral Psychology offers more than just the traditional online experience. It combines in-class seminars and examinations with online guidance. It provides the doctoral candidates with valuable extra-curricular opportunities to exchange ideas with the established psychologists, psychiatrists and prominent scholars, participate in ethics and moral debates, take part in international joint studies, and attend the ESAP the European Study Abroad Program of Georgian International University which gives our students unique opportunities to study, as well as teach in Europe, and receive full certifications and dual degrees from premier European academic institutions.
