To develop competence in theoretical and research issues that pertain to clinical psychology and related areas and empirical methodologies for studying and providing clinical services;
To give the student an identification with psychology as an integrated basic and applied science;
To develop culturally-competent skills in service and research recognizing the increasingly diverse communities which psychologists serve; and
To ensure that the individual has the ability to function in research-oriented (e.g., academic) and applied (e.g., medical centers) settings through the development of competencies in the production and consumption of research, the teaching of clinical psychology, and the supervision and provision of clinical services.
