At Palo Alto University, our PhD students have the unique opportunity to engage in cutting-edge research through our diverse range of faculty-led research labs. These labs focus on various areas of psychology, including forensic psychology, neuropsychology, and LGBTQ studies, allowing students to contribute to groundbreaking research that shapes the future of the field.
Participation in these labs not only enhances students' academic experience but also prepares them for successful careers in both clinical practice and academia by providing hands-on research experience and fostering mentorship with leading experts in the field.
All students in the PhD Clinical Psychology Program are required to participate in faculty-led research groups during their second and third years in the program – for 6 consecutive quarters.
