The doctoral program, which has adopted a practitioner-scholar model, accepts 30-40 students per year and offers concentrations in adult psychopathology and psychotherapy, health psychology/behavioral medicine, and child and adolescent psychology. Our College and Department are strongly committed to diversity, with opportunities for faculty, staff, and students to participate in College- and Department-level standing diversity committees designed to engage in continuous discussions of issues of College and University climate and advise the administration. In addition, we are home to professional organizations including ABPsi UIndy Student Circle, faculty-led relationship/community enhancement groups for BIPOC and international students, and an annual fellowship designed specifically for students from diverse backgrounds.
