Saybrook Graduate School and Research Center
Graduate degrees for professionals working toward a more
humane and sustainable future.
Program Overview
Saybrook Graduate School and Research Center has been offering innovative graduate degree programs targeted to adult learners for more than 35 years. We take an inclusive, multi-perspective approach, affirming that the entirety of human experience is worthy of study. The uniqueness of our psychology programs lie in their heritage of humanistic, existential, transpersonal and phenomenological psychology. Key founders and early contributors to this tradition include such innovative thinkers as Carl Rogers, Rollo May, Abraham Maslow, James Bugental, Charlotte Buhler, and Virginia Satir.
Our Doctor of Clinical Psychology (PsyD) offering is a cutting-edge program targeted to working professionals in mental health, social service, education, health or other areas. Students with a bachelor's degree seeking a higher degree are encouraged to apply.
Students who participate in this program will gain the skills and knowledge needed to:
- Promote health and wholeness as practitioners
- Pursue rigorous research as scholars
- Effect positive change through service and leadership in their chosen clinical field
The program features:
- Specializations in adolescence and gerontology/aging
- Options for student-directed specializations
- A foundation in integrative humanistic psychology, multiculturalism and spirituality
- Distinguished program faculty with diverse clinical practice and research interests
PsyD Scholarship Program
Saybrook will award up to fifteen (15) scholars who enter the program for Fall 2008 a $5000 scholarship for the first year (2008-09) and a $2000 scholarship in the second and third years (2009-10 and 2010-11). The total scholarship value per student is $9000 over the program. PsyD Scholars must demonstrate strong merit and professional promise during the admissions process, and continue to show ability to complete the program in a timely manner.
Hybrid Blended Learning Model Tailored for Clinical Practice
Our model balances in-residence requirements with distance learning to offer maximum flexibility for working adults to pursue a PsyD while ensuring comprehensive support of clinical training outcomes. In-residence learning occurs at conveniently clustered week-long and weekend conferences with the balance of coursework completed at a distance. All residential learning occurs at Saybrook's facilities in San Francisco, California. Saybrook's strong residential component has been designed to meet the recommended requirements by the American Psychological Association for APA accreditation.
