Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology

The Minnesota School of Professional Psychology (MSPP) is located just south of Minneapolis/Saint Paul. The strength of our Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) in Clinical Psychology program lies in our commitment to student learning and mentoring, our emphasis on understanding and appreciating diversity, and our focus on clinical practice. We encourage your personal and professional growth through engaging classroom discussions and experiential learning opportunities. We are also closely connected to many local organizations that provide training for our students.
