Counseling Psychology and Religion
(CPAR) is a multidiscipliniary doctoral
program (PhD) committed to training
professional psychologists. CPAR is
a unique, post-masters psychology program
which requires students to have prior
graduate study in a religious and/or
theological discipline. Graduates of
our program are equipped to practice
professional psychology with knowledge
of and sensitivity to systems of meaning,
value and belief. Students take courses
in counseling psychology, religious
and theological studies, and in methods
of coordinating research and scholarship
across disciplines. The program requires
a two year part-time clinical practicum
and a full-time (or equivalent) internship.
Dissertation research is situated in
a multidisciplinary context and uses
empirical methods and designs. Following
this scholar/practicioner model of
training, graduates are prepared to
serve as professors as well as clinicians.
Applicants must hold either a master's
in psychology or religious studies
(MA), or a master's in theological
studies (MDiv or MTS). Those holding
a master's in psychology must also
have academic prerequisites in religious
or theological studies, including coursework
or the equivalent in biblical studies,
the history of a religious tradition
(eg. church history, history of Judaism,
etc), philosophy, theology, ethics
and world religions. Those holding
a master's in religious or theological
studies must also have academic prerequisites
in psychological studies, including
general psychology, personality theory,
social psychology, abnormal psychology,
experimental psychology and statistics.
For all applicants, preparation in
one foreign language is expected.
All applications must include scores
from the Graduate Records Exam (GRE).
The Division of Religious and Theological
Studies requires a minimum combined
score of 1400 Verbal/Quantitative,
and 5.5 Analytical.
