At Walden, we understand the education needs of today's psychology professional better than anyone. Our psychology graduate programs have a history of preparing psychology professionals to fully excel in today's health care settings, private practices and global industries. Walden graduates teach at the Ph.D. level and hold academic positions at schools, colleges and universities. Human resource managers, consultants, psychologists in private practice - whatever your career path, Walden's Ph.D. in Professional Psychology program can help you make a difference in the world. This program is designed to prepare graduates to qualify to sit for psychology licensing exams and meets the academic licensure requirements of most state psychology boards. Walden University licensure specializations in psychology are not accredited by the American Psychological Association, which is a requirement for licensure in some states. Because no graduate psychology program can guarantee licensure upon graduation, we encourage students to consult the appropriate agency to determine specific requirements.
