Just found out about this program, oddly, via an ad above my gmail.
Arizona State is offering a program, which seems very easy, based on the listed criteria, to becoming a "Psychologist".
https://sls.asu.edu/bh/licensure
If you scroll down to the bottom, there is a "psychologist" track. Though I love more psychologists getting into integrated primary care- I have a real problem with someone who potentially never did a thesis or a dissertation being called a psychologist. And from what I can tell, this seems to suggest that's entirely possible.
Look at their entrance requirements. You can be a licensed master's level clinician. Where I live, you can get that without doing a thesis (counseling/MSW degrees). And in their "psychologist" track, I see nothing indicating that a dissertation needs to be done.
Am I off base, or is this a potentially very bad thing?
