A residency requirement must be satisfied following admission to the Psy.D. program. It is expected that students fulfill all degree requirements through courses offered at the Adler School. Students can transfer up to 24 credits (21% of the total credits required) of coursework taken at a graduate level pending approval based on review by the Program Director. In addition, in order to comply with APA-mandated residency, the program requires each student a minimum of 3 full-time academic years of graduate study (or the equivalent thereof) and completion of an internship prior to awarding the doctoral degree. Doctoral students are required to attend school full-time unless approved for part-time study by their faculty advisor. At least 2 of the 3 academic training years (or the equivalent thereof) must be at the institution from which the doctoral degree is granted, and at least 1 year of which must be in full-time residence (or the equivalent thereof) at that same institution.
