Clinical Psychology
The Clinical Psychology Training Program at The University of Texas at Austin is broadly based on a clinical science training model. The primary objective of our training program is to prepare students for research and teaching careers, and the secondary objective is to train students for the professional practice of clinical psychology. The clinical science is emphasized in both research and clinical training. Thus, while students have the opportunity to be exposed to a variety of clinical perspectives, the major focus is on empirically supported/cognitive behavioral treatments. The program is accredited by the American Psychological Association (202-336-5979), the Psychological Clinical Science Accreditation System (PCSAS), and is a member of the Academy of Psychological Clinical Science (APCS), an alliance of doctoral and internship programs with strong commitments to and established records of successful clinical science training.
The University of Texas Clinical Program ranks at #15 in the latest U.S. News & World Report (2026)
