What if I am interested in Clinical Psychology, but my research interests match better with a non-clinical faculty member?
This is typically not a problem. The primary research mentor for a clinical psychology graduate student can be a non-clinical faculty member. In this case, a clinical faculty member who can serve as a co-advisor is identified at the time of admissions. The clinical advisor ensures that the student is on track for completing all clinical requirements, and represents the student to the clinical faculty during student reviews.
