In my view the PsyD program was designed for adult learners looking to expand in the acquisition of clinical skills. Most of my classmates possess graduate degrees, and some are re specializing in clinical psychology in preparation for the professional practice of psychology. in fact, many students possess licenses at a master degree level. You see learners in this academic institutions are well define in the mental health profession. The degree is accredited, and the questions are: what can you... Read More do with it? Can you be auto didactic? Can you be self directed and self motivated? Are you in this profession to help others, or to enhance yourself image? Prior to enrolling be honest to yourself. Now, if you are able to read and apply what you learn at a higher level of thinking then this is good option, if not then look for options. Posting negative posts about the university is a reflection of you and not what the institution stands for. This university helps students that by other means they don鈥檛 have access to education. Not all of us can attend Harvard, but I invite you to review the PsYD curriculum from Harvard and compare it to California Southern University PsyD. You just might be surprise. In the U.S. accreditation is what matters and also what you can do with this degree for your country. Remember 鈥淜nowledge conquers everything鈥� (CSU).

The school started off okay, but after about a year into the program they went from flexible due dates (where everything was due by the end of the 8 week term) to very strict due dates that are weekly. This was tough since I overlapped classes. In just one year I have been through 3 different advisors. This seems to be common at CSU. The majority of mentors were okay, except for one that was rude to me about my work. This is a very self-reliant program and there are no lectures, the mentors just... Read More issue a grade for each assignment. Some mentors take forever to grade and others grade quickly. I will be starting comps next semester but the experience was just okay so far.

The PsyD program through CSU is a rigorous program and the instructors I have had so far have been responsive, engaged and provide fair grading and feedback. My assigned advisor has also been responsive and extremely helpful. I think the CSU PsyD program is best suited for individuals who already have clinical experience and a Masters in Counseling Psychology or a degree closely related. If you don't already have this experience, I think you will probably struggle in this program. I know students... Read More in the "APA accredited" Chicago School of Professional Psychology Clinical PsyD program and the course content and rigor from CSU is on par with that program from what I hear others describe. The main difference is going to be the APA internship experience which you will not get through CSU. If you live in California, the CSU PsyD content/program is approve by the Board of Psychology to meet licensure requirements and you can easily get your required hours toward licensure, especially if you already have some clinical experience under your belt. This program works well for me as a working professional and the degree is affordable compared to some of the other PsyD programs that seem to really milk you for money. I would highly recommend this program to working professionals with clinical experience who are looking to advance their knowledge and are interested in pursuing licensure as a Psychologist in California or other states where this program is approved.

I'm about halfway done with my PsyD. I am finding it to be excellent but understand it is not for everyone. To be successful, you have to be very self-motivated, understanding that this is a self-learning environment. It's hard to respond to the question "quality of instruction" since this is self-learning but I do feel the assignments have the right level of rigor.

I don't understand why there are so many negative comments. I have graduate degrees from Stanford and Johns Hopkins and feel CalSouthern... Read More is a great choice for anyone interested in self-learning.

I am writing to share my overall experience as a student in the Clinical Psychology program. While the program has been academically rigorous and I have had the privilege of learning from several outstanding professors who challenged me intellectually and supported my growth, my experience has also been overshadowed by serious concerns regarding the way the program is administered.

Specifically, my experience with the internship component has revealed a troubling pattern: student concerns are not... Read More being adequately investigated or addressed. Rather than engaging in fair inquiry when students raise issues, the program appears to side with internship sites鈥攄espite evidence of poor leadership behavior. This has created the impression that the program prioritizes maintaining graduation numbers over protecting student welfare or ensuring ethical standards in training. The default response has been to place blame on the student instead of holding supervisors and sites accountable.

Unfortunately, this lack of accountability is not limited to the executive leadership of the program or the field experience. I have personally experienced poor conduct from one professor, as well as dismissive response from program leadership regarding that experience too. The program director has supported inappropriate behavior from both faculty and internship leaders, placing all responsibility on the student regardless of circumstances.

Equally concerning is the failure of Walden鈥檚 formal complaint system. When I filed a complaint after my rights had been violated, I expected that the matter would be investigated promptly and fairly. To date, I have received no indication that an investigation has even begun. This has further eroded my trust in Walden鈥檚 ability to provide a safe, supportive, and ethical learning environment.
Because of these experiences, I cannot in good conscience recommend Walden University to future students. Moreover, when I am in a position to supervise interns, I will not accept Walden students so long as the current leadership and administrative approach to the Clinical Psychology program remain unchanged.

It is deeply disappointing to end my program with this perspective, given the high quality of many of the academic courses and professors. However, the failures in oversight, accountability, and student advocacy within the field training component鈥攁nd the lack of responsiveness from administration鈥攈ave left a lasting negative impression.

I hope this feedback is taken seriously and leads to meaningful change in the way Walden supports its students, addresses misconduct, and manages its programs. I know many disgruntled students from this program to date.

The PsyD program offers a rigorous and pragmatic curriculum, demanding a high level of commitment. I selected CSU's PsyD Program because of its practical and interesting courses, which significantly enhanced my knowledge and practical skills in areas such as motivation, cognition, psychopathology, psychopharmacology, neuropsychology, and research methods. The professors are responsive, knowledgeable, and hold high expectations, contributing to the program's intensity. The faculty of the PsyD program... Read More is highly reputable and active in the field, bringing practical experience to the forefront. I took a class from a professor who is indeed a renowned author of a commonly used psych assessment, adding significant credibility to the program. The courses are intentionally designed to prepare the students for the dissertation process. The statistics course required the students to compose a mini research paper from scratch, with the professor providing step-by-step guidance and feedback throughout. The academic advisors do change often and the students need to be proactive. As a virtual program, it requires a strong sense of self-discipline and motivation, reflecting the prevalent trends in modern education. Students are expected to meet weekly reading, discussion, and assignment deadlines consistently, and those unable to do so will likely find this program less attractive and challenging to complete. The stringent requirements emphasize the program's commitment to maintaining high-quality standards.

I attended this school from 2012-22 for their PsyD program. The quality of the education is horrible. They eliminated all personal contact and students are completely on their own. They also moved to Arizona. What? Recently I tried calling three different numbers and extensions and got only voicemails, which is thought was odd. I also didn鈥檛 get a return call. They have made some incredibly shady changes in recent years, which is why I withdrew. I no longer have any faith in this PsyD program. Trust... Read More me when I say that you should look somewhere else because this place is seriously suspect. I spent over $10k and got nothing for it.

I see a lot of negative responses about communication and advising. I don't understand this. I have had great experience with my advisor. When there is a question the advisor is prompt and either answers the question directly or puts me in touch with the person who can. Communication with Professors has been amazing. Again, if I have a question the professors are quick to answer and even offer Zoom calls if requested. The subjects and assignments are engaging and the classes are designed for students... Read More to communicate and work together. My experience as a student and someone who has worked for almost a decade in the field of higher education has taught me that a University experience is dependent on what you put into it. So many of the comments on this thread really reflect more of the learners attitudes towards education more than the institution. If you were to attend an Ive League or any other school you would face some issues with communication and this is partly due to the fact that the expectation of any program is that you are educated and motivated enough to find answers when you need them. It's 2022 and access to information is easier now than any other time in history. Higher education overall is not designed to baby you. If anything it is to teach you how to teach yourself. The higher the degree the more onus there is on the student to be independent. This is an online degree program, you should expect that you will have to do some leg-work. I have friends in many institutions that are in the top 1% that face the same issues that are mentioned in many of the negative comments. The difference is the attitude and individual motivation of the student. Calsouthern has a lot to offer for those who are able to apply themselves and commit to doing the work. The school is accredited and transparent. I recently had a question regarding licensure and the advisor literally initiated a conversation with the Board of Psychology to find answers. The only weakness I have found are the library resources, but this is also the case at many institutions. At the end of the day your education is in your own hands and is what you make of it. Expecting a professor, advisor or any representative to be at your beckon call (regardless of the institution) is rather lazy and unreasonable. Those that have had negative experiences would have had the same experiences regardless of whether they attended Oxford or a vocational school. Gas lighting is usually the expression of someone that can not take responsibility for their own actions and that is what I am reading throughout these reviews. Don't be discouraged by what you are seeing in these comments. I am a student at CalSouthern a long with a lot of great classmates who come from diverse backgrounds, and yes, there are those that only put 5 or 10% into their program and those are the one's that are always complaining. You can see it in the discussion posts. At the end of the day your education is what you make of it. You don't like a bad grade, you don't like that someone didn't do your research for you, you don't like that you didn't read the catalogue to understand the requirements of the Uni? That's not on the institution. You feel that your advisor didn't "reach out" or isn't responding? Request a new advisor... I have never had that kind of experience. I have had two advisors and they have been absolutely amazing. I have had professors that I have had great connections with and even after the class they will check in and see how I'm doing. They have a wealth of educational and professional background and are always open to share their experiences and even their struggles. So I would HIGHLY recommend CalSouthern. As far as the school being, "only concerned about money".... This is laughable.. Institutions make money that's just the reality of any business whether it is education or retail. I have worked with Institutions in higher education that would blow your mind when it comes to getting money out of you. Textbooks, parking tags, activity fees, class notes, club fees, high prices on campus based diners or cafeterias, even down to ridiculous fees for transcripts. Calsouthern, will refer you to sites that sell textbooks but you are free to get them wherever you want. The fees are straight forward and are even less than most institutions. I have attended Institutions that actually required that you buy printed copies of class notes for $30-$50... These were prestigious institutions. Calsouthern has never charged anything like this. Overall, I spent several years looking for an accredited university with a good online program. I moved overseasd 12 years ago and have had limited access to Doctoral programs. When I finally found this University I had my concerns as anyone would looking at an online program for the first time. Calsouthern, for me, has been and continues to be a great experience. I work hard, stay in touch with my advisor and professors as any student should and have never been disappointed by the response. Jason Sullivan class of 2024

This school and degree improved my life. I had an academically demanding dissertation committee that held my feet to the academic fire. The result was publishable. But who had time for all that? I have been applying all that I learned over the years to serve my beautiful patients. A special shout out to the most academically and emotionally challenging professors, Dr. T and Dr. Ord. I gained more clinical knowledge from both of you than from all the other classes combined. You were both that good.... Read More I have had an exponential glow-up in my professional life since graduating, and I am greatly indebted to Regent for this success that I would not have actualized otherwise.
