Steve , The one comment you make which warrants a response: Two final notes: First, I'm with Tony Maranto. We're talking about semantics here. A "Ph.D. with a Concentration in..." is more than acceptable in any field>> That is simply false. Take a look at the code of the Psychology Approval Board in Wisconsin. The fact is that a DOCTORATE in PSYCHOLOGY from an accredited university qualified one to sit for teh exam A Doctorate with a concentration in psychology does not! Also see the post above. There are numerous examples of where the two degrees are not equivalent. The key point here is that if they WERE equivalent there would be no need for these lies and misprepresentations Best Rev Renee
Get a clue Um... would it be too much to ask that you post your responses, whatever they are, in the thread containing that to which you're responding?
Long before Union branched out its clinical psychology program into a separate school, learners interesting in licensing were ecouraged and assisted to design their programs with licensing in focus. Because of the learner-centered model, this burden had to sit with the learners. With the advent of the separate psychology school, much of this was to be alleviated with some required curricular content designed to meet licensing requirements. But students not pursuing a clinical degree (and licensure) could still concentrate in psychology, but through the Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences school. I agree with Gregg that all of these separate threads are counter-productive, not to mention that they introduce a huge imbalance on the board (which has, by my count, only 3 UIU grads).
