Clinical Psychology

California accepts accredited programs like 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ's APA accredited program for core educational requirements; but California also requires additional specific coursework or continuing education training prior to licensure. (). Specifically, CA licensure requires 10 hours of training in human sexuality, 7 hours of training in child abuse assessment, 15 hours in spousal/partner abuse, detection and intervention strategies, 10 hours in aging and long-term care, and 1 semester or 1 quarter term course in alcoholism/chemical dependency detection and treatment. Students wishing to become licensed in California are advised to work with the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ program to tailor their electives to meet these additional training requirements. While 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ's clinical psychology program does not require this content per se, there are many electives at 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ and community training events in Las Vegas that are available for students to assist them in preparing for licensure in California.
