The School of Graduate Psychology (SGP):
Pacific’s School of Graduate Psychology is one of eight schools that comprise the University’s College of Health Professions. The PsyD program has been accredited by the APA since 1990 and has a long history of success.  The SGP’s Clinical PsyD program emphasizes clinical education and practical training reflecting the latest empirical findings in the field and combines coursework, practicum placements, and dissertation with professional support to help students complete the program with a versatile degree for practice, teaching or research.  In-house clinical training facilities also provide clinics for training doctoral students.  The SGP maintains the Pacific Psychology & Comprehensive Health Clinic, a training clinic located at two sites in Hillsboro and Portland.  These clinics offer a wide range of psychological services to the community.

The faculty and staff are committed to providing a professional curriculum that is learner-centered and focused.  The Clinical PsyD program offers five emphases within the generalist program which allows students to focus training on a specific area with its own defined curriculum and clinical opportunities. 

Aims: 
The PsyD Program has three primary aims:

  1. To prepare culturally and ethically competent, grounded, and humble practitioners who are committed to lifelong learning and application of knowledge;
  2. To prepare culturally and ethically competent, grounded, and humble scholars who are committed to lifelong learning and application of knowledge;
  3. To prepare culturally and ethically competent, grounded, and humble psychologists who are committed to lifelong learning and application of knowledge.

CHP was established on the University’s Forest Grove campus in 2004, by consolidating four existing schools – Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Physician Assistant Studies, and Professional Psychology – under one administrative umbrella.  In August 2006, the College relocated to new facilities in Hillsboro, eight miles east of Forest Grove.  At that time, CHP launched two additional Schools – Dental Health Science and Pharmacy. The School of Healthcare Administration and Leadership, was added in 2008.  In 2012, the School of Audiology was added, increasing to eight the number of schools currently comprising the College.

 

In Fall 2020, CHP enrolled a total of approximately 80 undergraduate and 1,200 graduate students.  The College employs a total of 170 full-time faculty and staff.  Its operating budget is $29 million for the 21-22 fiscal year.  College revenues are generated through tuition (94%), clinic fees (2%) and grants or gifts (4%).  All of the CHP programs leading to a clinical practice credential are accredited by their relevant professional accreditation bodies.
