Graduate work in counseling psychology includes coursework in general psychology and statistics, counseling practice, and research. Students must complete an original dissertation at the end of their graduate training. Students must also complete a one year full-time internship at an APA accredited site before earning their doctorate. In order to be licensed to practice, counseling psychologists must meet various requirements set by each state (a declining number of which require postdoctoral supervision), and pass a national licensing exam.
