SAN DIEGO, Dec. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The
California School of Professional
Psychology (CSPP) at Alliant
International University's Clinical Psychology PhD degree
program at its San Francisco
campus has just received a 10-year re-accreditation by the American
Psychological association (APA)—the highest level of
re-accreditation offered by the association.
Each of Alliant's nine clinical psychology doctoral programs is
accredited by the APA's Commission on Accreditation. The
San Francisco program is the
latest to have received the maximum re-accreditation. APA awards
accreditation based on program performance. The accreditors review
the curriculum, training opportunities, faculty credentials, and
program resources. They also look at outcomes such as time to
completion, attrition rates, and graduates' success in attaining
licensure. Another important outcome is students' success in
attaining internships. In 2018-19, 88% of San Francisco's Clinical Psychology PhD
students are completing APA-accredited internships, and 6% are
completing Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship
Centers (APPIC) member internships.
"This re-affirmation of the quality of our program is the latest
reminder that we are continuing our legacy of impact on the eve of
CSPP's 50th anniversary," said CSPP Dean Dalia Ducker, PhD.
