I can confirm that an announcement was made on CalSouthern’s INTRANET website. Since they have not dropped the PsyD, then I guess DETC gave the OK.

For the last year or two DETC applicants can offer professional doctorates other than the PhD. For somewhere close to 8 years they could offer first professional degree doctorates such as law.

I suspect Trinity College of the Bible and Seminary is applying somewhere, maybe DETC because they've trimmed their doctorates down to a DMin. Their website doesn't seem to have the DRS, DA, or PhD.

I don't see NationsUniversity yet like the rumors say. Maybe they still have to work out a lot of bugs. There's no sense applying if there's still work to do.

They also offer an EdD.

The Psy.D is now a DETC pilot program.

Dew,

Can you please tell me the source of this pilot program information.

Thanks,

[Dennis Ruhl]

Is it a pilot project? I thought the PsyD was clearly within the existing mandate of DETC.

[Dew]

California Southern University is in process with DETC and the Psy.D program is part of our pilot program.

Their name is to close to the University of Southern CA I wander why?
Also in the short abbreviation they are going to join the CSU company :-)
CA State University, Colorado State University, etc.
How many CSU out there?

[Dew]

Ownership of the CSU name

Education Code section 89005.5 provides that the name "California State University," and the names of all of the CSU campuses, nicknames and abbreviations belong to the State of California. Examples of the CSU name include Cal State, California State University Stanislaus, CSUS, San Diego State University, San Diego State, SFSU, Cal Poly, Sonoma State University, Sonoma State, the California Maritime Academy, Cal Maritime, CSU, and so on.

How about CCU (www.calcoast.edu) will they be able to submit for a PsyD or DSc (or have they already)??

Thanks!

Apparently it's in the works for 2009. Cal Southern does have one advantage in that it's PsyD is recognized for California licensing whereas CCU's will not be without changes in licensing. CSU was grandfather while CCU was not.

[ShotoJuku]

True for CSU (SCUps) but CCU did have a PsyD program in place at one time; I wonder if they could just blow the dust off of it and start it up again?

[Dew]

BPPVE APPROVED SCHOOLS - Unless there is a change in the law, doctorate degrees conferred after January 1, 2009 will no longer meet the minimum qualifications for licensure under the Psychology Licensing Law.

That seems pretty straightfoward. Another website wasted over 20 pages of petty bickering on the matter. As California Southern U's degrees will no longer be acceptable, I'm sure they're hoping DETC accreditation comes through early January.

Why don't you post this at:

I'm persona non grata over there and on top of that I'm unwelcome. It might drop some gyrating jaws for all of a second.
