Turn your dreams into reality. At Ryokan, we teach PSYCHOLOGY. It is all we teach, and we teach it better than most. Psychotherapists, Counselors and individuals holding an earned M.A. degree in Psychology or a related Behavioral Science can receive a DOCTOR of PSYCHOLOGY degree (Psy.D.) in Clinical Psychology 100% online.
The doctoral program in Clinical Psychology via the internet provides a unique learning experience that contains collaborative and interactive courses in asynchronous (at your convenience) and synchronous (‘live’ virtual classroom) platforms.
Our Online Psy.D. program is NOT a correspondence endeavor where a student receives downloads of information in a sterile model of academic learning. Our program requires active participation from class members and faculty and is created for those students whose time and distance from the College preclude participation at our onground classroom program. The Online program mirrors our onground program as to curriculum and in many instances, the online faculty also teaches the same course onground.
Our faculty members are selected both for their solid expertise as practicing clinicians who enjoy teaching and for their proficiency in working within the computer environment of the internet. They hold their classes once a week, at a scheduled time, in a ‘live’ virtual classroom environment.
