University of Nebraska – Lincoln

Accredited by the American Psychological Association since 1959, the University of Nebraska in Lincoln is one of the oldest accredited counseling psychology programs in the country. The doctoral program offered by the Educational Psychology Department follows the scientist-practitioner training model, focusing on student learning through coursework, practica, doctoral research seminars, supervision, and collaboration with peers.

Students are encouraged to use the first 3 years of full-time attendance to complete coursework, use the 4^th year to complete their dissertation and apply for internships, and use the 5^th year to complete their internship. Students entering the program without a master’s degree will be required to complete all coursework to obtain the degree in addition to their doctoral classes.

Tuition for residents is about $262 per credit hour, while non-residents are charged $705 per credit hour. Incoming doctoral students who are non-residents qualify for a tuition reduction (Edgren Fellowship.) Most doctoral students are able to procure a graduate assistantship that typically covers tuition that includes a monthly stipend and health insurance. Other means of financial aid is available, including scholarships, fellowships, grants, and student loans.
