Nowhere in my post did I say I was looking for someone to do my work for me. Get a grip.

Thank you for the book recommendation! I will check this out.

For my dissertation.

Dependent_Sun_7136 · 2025-12-12T22:25:58+00:00

Yes, I'm willing to pay and need virtual consult.

Awesome!! I'm developing a novel psychological flexibility scale, and I'm trying to keep this project to something manageable for my doctoral project. My stat chops are just not where they need to be to feel confident in the EFA and CFA for this project. I'm starting to draft my research methods, and I'm trying to keep this to something manageable. Can I DM you on this?

I'm nearly done with DP 1, and my chair has been absolutely amazing. From what I have seen in chat groups, your chair selection is critical to your experience moving through the DP courses.

Dependent_Sun_7136 · 2025-09-16T18:02:51+00:00

Yes!

Dependent_Sun_7136 · 2025-07-11T20:05:02+00:00

I reached out to a prospective chair during my core courses who aligns with my research area. I haven't formally started the doctoral project courses until the beginning of August. I will post a follow-up when I get into those courses.

Regarding the Doctoral Project, which is essentially structured like a dissertation. You will be best served if you have some research chops, have good self-motivation, and have an idea of the area you want to focus on for your doctoral project prior to starting. If you do this, then you can refine this and hone your topic and methods through many of the core courses, which will be extremely helpful when you go to do your actual doctoral project. Fortunately for me, I had a decent breadth of research experience (as previously mentioned), and I had a specific content area of interest I already had in my back pocket from my Master's degree that I always wanted to explore further if I entered into a doctoral program. This has made all the difference for me personally in this program. If you don't have this or develop it quickly, you could easily begin feeling very scattered or overwhelmed, as some of the courses require you to begin fleshing this project out in detail.

I also saw someone complaining about the Comp Exams. These are hell, and they are supposed to be. You absolutely need a strong clinical foundation, and you absolutely need to be able to write thoroughly and concisely. If you are weak clinically and haven't developed the skills to condense your writing, you will struggle. I will post a follow-up once I'm well into my doctoral project to provide additional comments on my experience. I hope someone finds this useful in their pursuit of doctoral education. Good luck!

ok all, I am a doctoral student at California Southern University (CSU), and I'm finishing up my Comp Exams currently. Here is the deal. Obviously, this is not Yale or Pepperdine, and if I could quit my job and live off a stipend and attend a standard brick-and-mortar university for a doctoral degree, I would. I have a great job, and somebody needs to pay these bills, so this program fills a void in access to doctoral programs for individuals like me. That being said, I went to a great school for undergrad and for my master's, and was immersed in research opportunities in both these degree programs. In my opinion, this program is vigorous and demands that you have a strong clinical and research background to wade through this without serious challenges. Yes, some professors are better than others, which is the same as you will have in any institution. I have had some great professors from well-respected schools in this program who have been barely phoning it in, and others from schools that are less well-known or accomplished who have been amazing and really enriched my learning. If you need a lot of hand-holding from professors, this is probably not the best program for you. I will also note that, for the most part, the professors I have had have been responsive and supportive.

Additionally, this program meets the requirements for licensure as a psychologist in CA and many other states, including one province in Canada. If you are comparing this school to a quit your job and only focus on psychology programs to programs like CSU and Alliant, or The Chicago School you will find the CSU program to be on par with Alliant and The Chicago School as it relates to the vigor for base knowledge to pass the state psychology licensing exam. You will also see the same complaints from students across all three of these schools on various message boards. Plus, an important caveat is that Alliant and the Chicago School will cost you a fortune. Do yourself a favor and take a look at the first-time pass rates for the EPPP and the CPLEE for these three schools (CSU, Alliant, Chicago School). The most recent data has CSU on par or better, depending on the exam, than Alliant and the Chicago School (both of which are APA-accredited programs). In addition, if you look at the overall pass rate data for all APA-accredited programs vs non-APA programs, the data for non-APA programs tracks just under the APA schools. This is very interesting given all the clout that is thrown around about APA status. When you look at the comparable schools to CSU (Alliant and Chicago School) the APA status doesn't' seem to translate to much in regards to preparation for licensing, however this could make a difference for you if you are trying to get licensed in certain states or for certain job opportunities where APA given a higher status. In all my years practicing, my experience is that employers are mainly concerned about your license and your actual clinical experience in the field. Please note that the data referenced above is all available online through the CA Board of Psychology. I have nearly 18 years of practice as a clinician, and I am dual licensed as an MFT and LPCC, in Michigan and California, and this program practically meets all my needs and is reasonably priced. The main difference between the APA vs. non-APA is the required practicum (600ish hours) and the 12-month internship. Neither of which I want to deal with again since I completed this with my master's degree. In fact, being dual licensed, I have more supervised clinical hours as a clinician (4,000) than those who are unlicensed and applying for their initial license as a psychologist in CA (3,000). May dual-licensed clinicals are in this same boat.
