Why did you choose to attend UE's PsyD program over other graduate/doctoral programs?

I like that it is a generalized program so it gives us the exposure to a variety of clinical aspects so we can have a stronger sense of what we want to do once we graduate. It was also nice that it’s in my hometown so I can still have a solid support system of my family and friends.

What advice would you share with students going through the college search for graduate/doctoral programs?

Don’t be afraid to ask questions and look at the setup of the program to see if it fits your interests.

Why do you recommend UE?

Knowledgeable professors, a welcoming environment, and diverse exposure to clinical practices within the PsyD program.

Hobbies?

I like to play Magic the Gathering and solve puzzles, or read, craft, or hike. Game nights with friends are also fun.
