We do not have a terminal master’s degree. Coursework generally includes 90 credits including six hours of thesis research and 12 hours of dissertation research. In certain cases, credit may be awarded for completion of History and Systems of Psychology prior to program matriculation.
Students apply for an internship during their fourth year and generally complete it during their fifth year. The internship is required for the award of the doctoral degree. Once in a while, a student does not match for an internship. In that case, we work with the student to determine how to best spend the fifth year, during which time they reapply for internship. Dissertation hours (0-3 credits) may be taken while on internship.

Coursework generally involves 60 graduate credits including 42 hours of coursework, six practicum hours and 12 hours of dissertation research.
Students entering with a clinical master’s degree must have fulfilled the requirements for the profession-wide competency (PWC) courses in their master’s degree programs. These courses will need to be taken if these courses were not completed, were not completed at the graduate level, lacked original source material, were not completed with a grade of "B" or better or in any other way did not meet our curricular requirements. This plan also assumes that students have completed at least nine hours of discipline-specific knowledge (DSK) credit in research methods/statistics in their master’s programs. In total, six hours of statistics and six hours of research methods (at least three hours of which address psychometric theory and/or test development) are required at the graduate level.
Students entering with a clinical master’s degree usually apply for an internship during their third year and generally complete it during their fourth year. The internship is required for the award of the doctoral degree. Once in a while, a student does not match for an internship. In that case, we work with the student to determine how to best spend the fourth year, during which time they reapply for an internship. Dissertation hours (0-3 credits) may be taken while on internship.

University of missouri, counseling psychology (phd).
This degree is a Doctorate of Philosophy in the Department of Educational, School & Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Counseling Psychology .
This degree is part of the counseling psychology program , housed in the Department of Educational, School & Counseling Psychology .
MU’s Counseling Psychology program strives for excellence in the integration of practice, science and diversity. The program aims to prepare counseling psychologists to work in academic and applied settings (a) to think critically and to apply scientific-based practices, (b) to promote social justice, (c) who are ethical and culturally competent, and (d) who continue to become self-aware and mindful of personal power and privilege.
Our Ph.D. program has been continuously accredited by APA since 1953, and we are consistently rated as one of the top training programs in the country. Counseling Psychology at MU continues to be committed to a strong scientist-practitioner model which fosters student growth through professional identification. We are committed to multicultural and cross-cultural competence, social justice, and maintaining our values of mentoring and apprenticeship.
A student’s plan of study will vary depending on her/his program track and career goals and should be completed in consultation with her/his academic adviser. Students who are admitted with a master’s degree typically complete the program in 4-5 years, which includes required coursework, comprehensive exams, dissertation, and predoctoral internship. Students who are admitted with a bachelor’s degree typically complete the program in 5-6 years, which includes required coursework, thesis, comprehensive exams, dissertation, and predoctoral internship.
For a sample plan of study and course listing, go to the course catalog . Applicants with a bachelor’s degree in a field not related to psychology will be required to complete 15 hours of prerequisite courses in the behavioral sciences (including an introductory statistics course) either prior to or concurrently with course work in the program. This prerequisite course work is over and above that required for the master’s degree itself and is not counted on the program of study for the master’s degree.
Counseling Psychology Doctoral Planner
Clinical Training
Within a scientist-practitioner paradigm, our program requires students to engage early in a variety of supervised counseling practice experiences. These are integrated with scientific aspects of the discipline and graduated in depth and complexity to train students to become independently functioning professional psychologists. Learning occurs through formal coursework and supervised direct client contact. The Counseling Psychology program maintains relationships with many local practicum sites to meet the training interests of our diverse students. Students typically complete practicum at multiple sites during their tenure at MU. This table shows where students have completed practicum in recent years.
Faculty members who will be accepting new doctoral advisees for the 2025-2026 school year are noted below.
Patrick rottinghaus, christopher slaten, application, deadlines, and admission.
The application deadline for the doctoral program in Counseling Psychology is December 1 . The admissions process is competitive; the program receives 100-150 applications for 5-8 openings each year, and students are only admitted to begin fall term. We admit applicants with either a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree. You are welcome to visit the University of Missouri and attend a campus tour , but faculty members are typically not available to meet with prospective applicants because of the large volume of meeting requests. If you want to learn more about faculty members’ research and scholarly interests, please visit their individual web pages . Applicants are required to meet two sets of minimum qualifications for admission:
For Fall 2024 applicants, the department has decided to temporarily suspend the requirement of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE).
Submit the following documents using the MU Office of Graduate Studies application by Dec. 1 for the next fall cohort:
Policy and Procedures for Annual Assistantship
The department’s goal is to provide every full-time ESCP doctoral student with a .25 FTE assistantship in year 1. Historically, however, almost all doctoral students who have requested funding have received .50 FTE from departmental placements or from sources outside the department. Beginning in the Fall, 2016, only students receiving 0.5 FTE stipends will be eligible for full tuition waiver. Students receiving less than 0.5 FTE stipends will be eligible for a 50% tuition waiver. Assistantships from non-academic units will still be required to provide an academic focus for the assistantship and students may not cobble together two non-academic 0.25 FTE assistantships to qualify for a full tuition waiver without very strong justification. Students with 0.25 FTE support from their academic unit, may combine that with a 0.25 FTE from an appropriate non-academic unit to qualify for a full tuition waiver provided there is an academic focus and justification for the second assistantship.Fellowships are not considered in the assignment of departmental placements, and are viewed as additional financial compensation for outstanding academic performance. Fellowship recipients will receive a .25 FTE assistantship which can consist of an additional fellowship, teaching, or research assistantship at the most competitive level in the department. .
College of Education Graduate Scholarship Opportunities
The College of Education offers a variety of scholarships for students enrolled as education majors, both as undergraduates and graduates. Scholarships are a great way to financially support your education and are awarded to individuals on the basis of any number of criteria, including: financial need, academic achievement, choice of program area, public service, nationality or ethnicity.Some scholarships are renewable or may be awarded to the same students in succeeding years; however, these awards are based upon continued eligibility with scholarship criteria; grade point average; the contingency of available funds; and a current, completed application that must be submitted each year. Please note, should a College of Education scholarship recipient change enrollment to another University or another college within MU, the scholarship will be rescinded.
Each year, the doctoral program accepts a limited number of applicants with only a bachelor’s degree or a masters degree in a field other than psychology. Over the past three years, 14% of our incoming doctoral students had only a Bachelor’s degree. Thus, we encourage such applicants to indicate if they also want to be considered for our Masters Program. Doing so will not impact your chances for being accepted into the PhD Program; your interest in the Masters Program will only be considered should you not receive acceptance to the PhD Program.
Note: Enrolling in our Masters Program will allow you to further develop the necessary clinical and scientific skills to successfully earn a PhD in a scientifically rigorous program such as ours. Moreover, most PhD programs in Counseling Psychology will allow you to transfer credits from our Masters Program in partial fulfillment of earning a PhD.

Certificate description: Positive Psychology is a specific focus area within the field of psychology that explores the positive, creative, and fulfilling aspects of human behavior. It is the scientific study of well-being: how humans flourish and in turn, unlock their potential. Through a purposeful sequence of courses, students will examine positive emotions, engagement, relationships, virtues and strengths, meaning, purpose, and accomplishment. Positive Psychology theories and practices are often applied to individual lived experiences, but coursework will also focus Positive Psychology’s “value-add” to organizations, governments, businesses, and education. The Graduate Certificate of Positive Psychology aims to articulate theory, apply research, and introduce intervention strategies students will use to enhance individual, interpersonal (social), community, institutional, and cultural well-being.

As we enter the new millennium, the U.S. population is becoming more multiracial, multiethnic, and multilingual. Some estimate that by the year 2020, racial and ethnic minorities will become the numerical majority. This demographic shift has already occurred in specific contexts, such as K-12 schools in Los Angeles. Applied psychologists and educators have begun to develop competency standards for professionals to provide culturally relevant and effective services to our ever-changing population. In fact, multiculturalism has been identified as the fourth focus in counseling psychology. The purpose of the graduate minor in multicultural psychology and education would be to (a) expose graduate students to the growing theoretical and empirical research completed in the fields of multicultural psychology and education, (b) help graduate students develop multicultural competencies in research and practice, and (c) provide graduate students with training necessary to meet the psychological and educational demands of diverse populations.
The requirements for the minor are listed below.
Core Courses (must complete at least 6 graduate-level credit hours from the following courses with a main emphasis on race/ethnicity in psychology and/or education.)
Auxiliary Courses (must complete 3 credit hours from the following courses emphasizing a wide range of diversity and social change issues):
Skill Courses (must complete 3 credit hours from one of the options below)
I. Research Skills: successful completion of at least 3 hours of A450/A490 (or departmental equivalent) for research hours on an independent, substantive research project such as a master’s thesis or doctoral dissertation. The scope and quality of the research project is expected to be of such a caliber that it could be submitted to a refereed journal in the student’s discipline. The research project must be on a multicultural-related topic (i.e., issues related to race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, and international concerns).
Successful completion of this requirement will consist of:
Approval of the proposed project can be obtained in one of two ways: (1) approval of the project from a director of the Center for Multicultural Research, Training, and Consultation, or (2) have an ESCP faculty affiliated with the Center on the thesis/research/dissertation committee.
One committee member must have expertise in multicultural issues.
A passing grade in the course.
Approval of the completed project by a director of the Center, or having an ESCP faculty affiliated with the Center on the thesis/research/dissertation committee,
II. Applied Multicultural Skills: The person must demonstrate competencies in working with diverse populations (with an emphasis on racial and ethnic minority populations). This experience will result in 3 hours of graduate credit that can be obtained in the two ways listed below.
Successful completion of this requirement will consist one of the following :
Completion of 3 credit hours of applied work. This can be obtained in one of three ways: (1) successful completion (with a passing grade) of ESCP 8943 (Applied Multicultural Interventions); (2) successful completion (with a passing grade) of a multiculturally-designated applied course (e.g., counseling practica classes, teaching practica classes, group counseling practica classes: a list of approved courses can be obtained at the Center); or (3) applied experience via community outreach programs, work placements in agencies, or extended volunteer experiences in community agencies. For the third option, the student must receive direct, individual supervision for minimum of 15 hours from an advanced-level person (MA degree or higher) at the community/work site. The supervisor must have expertise in the area of multicultural psychology or education. The student must document this experience by completing the Multicultural Applied Experience and Supervision Form (obtained from the Center for Multicultural Research, Training, and Consultation). The form requires a supervisor signature, description of the work experience and general evaluation of the student’s performance. (After the student completes this requirement and the Multicultural Competency Portfolio described below, he or she will receive 3 credits of 8085: Problem).
Approval by a Center director of a Multicultural Competency Portfolio completed by the student to demonstrate awareness, knowledge and skill competencies in the area.
Consultation: Successful completion of any consultation courses in organization or systemic changes including applied consultation activities. Pre-approval from one of the Co-directors of the Center is needed.
Are you ready to compare Doctoral Programs in Psychology in Missouri? If you are a resident of the “Show-Me State”, and looking to advance your career within the discipline of Psychology, the first step is enrolling in Psychology Doctoral Programs that will help you prepare for licensure.
There are a variety of different traditional and modern doctoral programs that you can choose from as a major in Psychology. Unfortunately, not all programs in the state of Missouri are created equal, and choosing an accredited program is vital. Here are doctoral-level psychology graduate programs that are well-known and focus on clinical and counseling psychology.
College of arts and science, department of psychological sciences.
The Graduate School at University of Missouri currently offers 93 different Master’s degree programs and 68 doctoral programs. As the only public institution to be selected for membership to the Association of American Universities, admission to the four-campus University of Missouri System is very competitive. The Department of Psychological Sciences reviews many applications for programs with an emphasis on Clinical Psychology, Quantitative Psychology, Neuroscience, Developmental Psychology, and Personality Psychology. The department also has a lot of interest in unique dual program opportunities that are currently being offered, which all offer theoretical training with an emphasis on research-oriented curriculum.
The Clinical Psychology PhD offered by the Department of Psychology within the College of Arts and Science is an accredited research-oriented program that takes a traditional approach to curriculum. By enrolling in this program, students will receive broad and empirical training with an emphasis on research rather than an emphasis on generalist psychological sciences. Those who complete a Clinical Psychology PhD program will be eligible for licensure, and will be prepared for field-related positions in research and education.
The Counseling Psychology PhD is offered by the College of Education at the University of Missouri-Columbia. The program is accredited by the American Psychological Association and is currently ranked number 9 on a national list by the U.S. News & World Report. This Educational, School, and Counseling Psychology program is full of rich and stimulating lectures and core curriculum centered around the integration of research and service-related projects.

The guide below provides information for students looking to pursue a PsyD degree in the state of Missouri. The guide will not only provide you with information about obtaining your degree but also requirements by the state to become licensed to practice in the field.
Quick facts.
Several colleges and universities offer Psy.D. (Doctor of Psychology) and Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) degrees in Missouri, which are crucial for gaining the experience required to become licensed by the state to practice psychology. Let’s explore their vital statistics.
Servicing students in both Missouri and Kansas, Kansas City University is one of the few in the region to offer a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology. But the program hasn’t received APA accreditation.
University of missouri.
Several branches of the University of Missouri system offer APA-accredited Ph.D. degrees in multiple fields within psychology, including clinical (Columbia, St. Louis and Kansas City), counseling (Columbia and Kansas City) and school (Columbia). The trio of clinical programs have produced a total of 112 graduates over the past 10 years for which data is available, and their average licensure rate is more than 83%.
WashU’s Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology first earned APA accreditation in 1948, giving the program a long history in Missouri and around the rest of the United States. Since the 2009-10 school year, 35 scholars have completed the program, with 86% earning psychologist licenses.
St. Louis University’s Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology first earned APA accreditation in 1964, and today the Jesuit Catholic institution offers students the opportunity to focus their training in a few areas of psychology, including clinical child, neuropsychology, health, trauma or sports. Just shy of 75 students have completed the clinical program at SLU, and all but one have earned professional licensure.
Let’s take a look at the educational and experiential requirements that the state of Missouri has established for earning a psychologist license in the state.
Clinical, counseling and school psychologists in Missouri make almost double the annual salary of the average worker in the state. The average yearly wage for psychologists is $81,700, compared to about $48,000 for all workers in the state, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics .
These jobs are expected to grow by about 16.2% over the next 10 years, compared to the expected growth rate of about 5% for all occupations in the U.S.

Degree requirements.
Social/Personality psychology offers training in the traditional areas of social and personality psychology, as well as their relevance for several applied areas including health psychology. This Social/Personality area integrates the psychology of the person and the situation, with the goal of understanding the psychological processes that underlie people’s emotions, motivations, beliefs, actions, and decisions.
Training focuses on the multi-faceted view of social behavior from three levels:
All three levels are vital to fully understanding human psychology. Particular research foci in the area include the sources of motivation, both individual and social; the nature of meaning-making, both existential and interpersonal; the determinants of optimal and destructive functioning, both within and between groups and in relationships; and the causes and consequences of psychological well-being, growth, and defense.
Applicants are required to meet two sets of minimum qualifications for admission: the requirements of the PhD in Psychology program and the minimum requirements of the Graduate School . Because requirements vary, you must refer to a degree program’s graduate admission page to learn about specific admission criteria, application deadlines, eligibility and application process. Before official admissions to the University of Missouri, your application materials will be reviewed by both the Graduate School and the degree program to which you’ve applied.

Child psychologist; program and research director; assistant professor of pediatrics, university of missouri-kansas city school of medicine.
As Children’s Mercy Research Institute (CMRI) grows its research programs, the institute has welcomed many innovative, early-career investigators to its roster of researchers. These investigators bring their novel ideas, unique talents, and diverse interests to CMRI. The following profile is one in our series on emerging principal investigators.
Dana Bakula, PhD , Gastroenterology, is the Program & Research Director for the Interdisciplinary Feeding and Swallowing Program and an assistant professor at University of Missouri – Kansas City School of Medicine. From an early age, she knew she wanted to be a child psychologist. “I have no idea how I decided this so early in life, but I've always wanted to work with kids,” said Dr. Bakula. “I've always liked talking to people, and I knew I wanted to be a psychologist. It wasn't until late college that I realized I also wanted to do research.”
When she first began graduate school in psychology at Oklahoma State University, she planned to someday work one-on-one with children with medical conditions. During her research and clinical training, her career goals evolved when she observed how much stress parents experienced because of their children’s medical conditions. While studying for her PhD, she conducted two meta-analyses studies and found a link between parent mental health and a child’s wellbeing. “When parents aren't feeling supported, it has downstream effects on child health and wellbeing,” said Dr. Bakula. “That got me interested in understanding what interventions we can do at this two-generation level to improve both parent and child outcomes.”
In 2020, Dr. Bakula began her fellowship in pediatric psychology at Children’s Mercy Kansas City (CMKC), and she joined the faculty in 2022. Much of her research focuses on improving the wellbeing of children with pediatric feeding disorder (PFD) and their families. PFD is common, affecting one in 37 children. Children with PFD have so much difficulty eating that it affects their growth and nutrition. Without effective treatment, it can lead to severe malnutrition.
Caring for a child with this disorder is very stressful, and 40% of parents of children with PFD report mental health concerns like depression, anxiety, and parenting stress. “It is one of the most stressful conditions that parents face,” said Dr. Bakula. “It’s so prevalent among young children, and there's such a need to support these parents.” Parent mental health issues are known to impact PFD treatment, including mealtime interactions. Yet, addressing parent mental health in PFD care is not part of the standard of care, and no mental health treatments for these parents have been tested. Dr. Bakula is one the first researchers to address this problem.
In May 2023, she received a National Institutes of Health K23 award to study a brief mental health treatment for parents of children with PFD. The intervention uses focused acceptance and commitment therapy, which is a type of therapy that can be helpful in just two sessions. Her team will measure whether the treatment results in positive effects on parent mental health and parent-child interactions at mealtimes. The study’s mental health treatment is designed to be easily scalable so that it can be shared and implemented at children’s hospitals around the country. Because of this, it has the potential to reach parents of children with PFD throughout the United States. This project builds on her earlier study to develop and pilot test the mental health intervention.
Along with her research into parent mental health, Dr. Bakula also focuses on other projects to improve the quality of life of children with pediatric feeding disorder. She is a co-investigator on a project with Lori Erickson, PhD, RN, MSN, CPNP-PC , Remote Health Solutions, and Sarah Edwards, DO , Gastroenterology, to implement CHAMP® App , a mobile health software platform to help patients with feeding tubes transition from tube to oral feeding in the home.
Dr. Bakula has also worked with community advisors in her research projects at CMKC. She would like to continue working with community members on future research projects, including in a qualitative investigation that looks at gaps in support systems for parents of children with medical conditions. She is planning the project with community member Nicole Crump who is the parent of a child with a rare genetic disorder. Crump would serve as a co-investigator on the project. “Nicole is very active in community advocacy and has a great sense of what’s going on in the community of parents of children with feeding issues,” Dr. Bakula said. “It’s nice to partner directly with her. When we partner with the community, the research we do is so much stronger and better informed.”
Dr. Bakula is mentored by Ann Davis, PhD, MPH , Director, Center for Children’s Healthy Lifestyles and Nutrition ; Delwyn Catley, PhD, San Diego State University; and Kandace Fleming, PhD, University of Kansas.
