Introduction

Welcome to the Division of Psychology, a large and diverse organization that offers graduate, internship, and postdoctoral clinical psychology programs at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. You will find complete information on this Web site if you plan to apply for admission to one of our programs or just want to learn about our research, training, and clinical offerings. Our doctoral program has been ranked by US News and World Report as one of the top graduate programs in clinical psychology in the nation.

Our American Psychological Association–approved PhD program is offered on Northwestern's Chicago campus. This doctoral program in clinical psychology, which is committed to the scientist-practitioner model, is distinguished in two ways.

  • First, we offer excellent training in the science of psychology at a nationally prominent medical center. Our faculty and students collaborate with physicians and basic scientists on research projects in cardiovascular, cancer, a nd HIV risk reduction; mental health services and policy; neuropsychology; chronic mental illness; and other projects at the interface of the criminal justice and mental health systems.
  • Second, we continue to honor our tradition of excellence in clinical training by insisting that our students aspire to a level of clinical sophistication unmatched by most training programs. An unusually dedicated team of faculty members offers supervision in a variety of traditional psychiatric and innovative medical settings.

A separate Northwestern University doctoral program in clinical psychology is offered by the Department of Psychology of the Judd A. and Marjorie Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences located on the Evanston campus. The rules of the Graduate School state that students may apply to only one program during any admissions period. See Related Links on this Web site for access to further information about the Evanston campus program.
