Any Other PhD Programs similar to Duquesne?

[ToTheLighthouse]

Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone knows of PhD programs that have a similar model and conceptual basis to that of Duquesne University.

This program seems to have a balance of psychology as science and the philosophy of psychology that I feel fits my interests well.

They write about their program as one that takes a "Human Sciences" approach.
Are there any other accredited programs that take this approach?

Thanks so much for any and all replies.

FWIW, I think Aliant's San Francisco and San Diego campuses do. Also it seems counseling psychology programs seem to favor humanistic/existentialist orientations moreso than clinical programs...

thank you so much. I'll look into the San Francisco and San Diego Programs now.
I'm veering away from counseling psych programs only because I read it presents fewer job opportunities, particularly within academia. Not sure how accurate this belief is though? any input on that?

The best way to check this out is to look up faculty at universities and colleges, especially at universities and colleges that you could see yourself working at one day. What are their degrees? I think generally speaking clinical psychologists tend to work in clinical psychology programs and counseling psychologists tend to work in counseling psychology programs. These are not cut and dried rules, however.

If you're thinking academia is a possibility, I would think long and hard about going to a large, clinically-focused program like Alliant.

I have seen Alliant alums on faculty (mostly clinical associate status) at medical schools and in psychiatry departments, but never in a psychology department in any tier I universities. Even Alliant's ph.d program is very much a "scholar-practitioner" training model.
