The University of Maryland’s doctoral program in Clinical Psychology is a leader in clinical psychological science whose faculty focuses on research to understand and treat mental illness. Our clinical faculty members publish extensively, conduct research supported by grants from NIDA and NIMH, serve on the editorial boards of leading academic journals, and mentor the next generation of clinical researchers. In a published academic ranking based on faculty productivity, the Clinical Psychology program was ranked 18th out of 157 APA-accredited clinical programs in the nation. Our mission is to create knowledge and to disseminate this knowledge through training. As part of this mission we have developed the Master of Professional Studies (MPS) in Clinical Psychological Science. We draw on our collective faculty expertise to provide an academic program that is both rigorous and relevant.
