University of Tennessee – Knoxville

Accredited by the American Psychological Association since 1980, the Department of Psychology at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville offers a Counseling Psychology program, utilizing the scientist-practitioner-advocate model of training, immersing students in a sequence of coursework and field learning experiences designed to develop a broad base of psychological knowledge, as well as a high level of skills in both research and practice.

A variety of students are accepted into the Counseling Psychology program—some holding master’s degree while other are still undergraduates. Full-time enrollment is required, and students must stay in residence for the first 3 years of their training. Depending on their education experience, students with an undergraduate degree and a strong background in psychology should expect to spend 6 years in full-time study to earn their Ph.D., including dissertation research and a final year of full-time internship.
