Neuropsychology Ph.D. Programs

City University of New York

• The City University of New York (CUNY), Queens offers a doctoral level neuropsychology program through the psychology department. Students may elect one of two tracks: basic neuropsychology or clinical psychology: neurology.

  The 60 credit basic track trains students to be researchers and college level professors through classes such as neuroanatomy, physiological psychology, research design, statistics, and psychometrics. Graduation requirements include two doctoral exams, one on research design/statistics and the other on a focused topic of the student's choice, a second-year faculty directed research project and dissertation research.

  The clinical track is an 82-credit program that includes basic neuropsychology classes such as neuroanatomy and neurophysiology. Students in this track must complete the same examination and research requirements as the basic track. Additionally, students must complete 1600 hours of externship training in a clinical setting and a 12-month, full-time internship at an American Psychological Association site.
