| The Master's level thesis track in Clinical Psychology prepares students for Ph.D. and in some cases, Psy.D. programs in the field. With its emphasis on psychological theory, assessment and research, this program often attracts students who already work in the profession, but seek to advance their knowledge and skills in preparation for doctoral work. The quality of preparation and training provided to students in the clinical thesis track significantly enhances their eligibility for doctoral level programs, and provides excellent direction for publishing their master's theses and networking within the professional community. Career opportunities for graduates include research jobs in academia, hospitals and clinics, as well as positions as licensed clinical psychologists. The program comprises 45 credits and requires completion of the master's thesis. A comprehensive examination must also be completed. The thesis track is often pursued on a full-time basis. As with the practitioner track, admission to the thesis track is selective. Standards are similar, however strength in quantitative areas is viewed favorably in the successful thesis track applicant.
