Advanced Standing
Many students come to ITP with substantial accomplishments already under their belts, such as an earned Master’s degree in a related field or a significant amount of graduate level course work in psychology. At ITP we recognize and value your accomplishments and hard work. Such applicants may be eligible to enter one of our Ph.D. programs with Advanced Standing, allowing them to jump-start their advanced educational dreams and work towards an earlier graduation date.
Here’s how it works:
Applicants may earn advanced standing into the Global On-line Ph.D. or one of the Residential doctoral programs if they have completed a Master’s degree (or equivalent coursework) in psychology, social work, divinity or a related field with a strong emphasis or specialization in psychology.
Both Residential and Global Ph.D. students enrolling with advanced standing will begin their program in Year 3. Psy.D. students enrolling with advanced standing will enroll in the second year. These students get meaningful credit for their previous accomplishments, and shorten their educational process significantly.
