just trying to get some information
is american univ in D.C considered a good program if your looking to go on to a doctorate? (PsyD)

Members don't see this ad.
 
Well, some would argue that NO Psy.D. is good.
Overall, though, it does okay (if mediocre) on rankings...
US News gave it 99th of around 131 (32%ile)
Social Psych's Research-Based Rankings gave it 114 of 157 (27%ile)
Social Psych's Licensure (EPPP) Rankings gave it 66 of 183 (64%ile)

Based on that...I'd say their program lacks much of a reputation but that their students tend to score pretty well on the EPPP (licensure exam). ...So you should be okay in private practice but probably won't be well-prepared for academia. Also, I do not believe it is funded, which means it will cost you what med school would cost but with nowhere near the return on your investment.
