PhD = PsyD in one context. . . fully-funded programs (e.g., the fully funded Boulder - PhD - and Vail -PsyD- model programs) across degrees are generally high quality and offer a good and mostly equal career path. However, professional schools should not be considered in this equation. They are not equal, nor are they a viable alternative. Professional psyd = unmanageable debt, low admission requirements (relatively poor student quality), and increased danger of not getting a funded interrnship or post-doc. Don't go to to a professional school. Do something else. Consider PhD Counseling or School Psychology. Consider social work. Consider a different career.
