Hi everyone! Making a decision between starting my PsyD at either Kean or Chestnut Hill this Fall 2021 and having a rough time deciding. Any thoughts, opinions or suggestions?? Anything is helpful at this point!

The clinicians I know who have attended Kean are not ones I would recommend.
 
I was accepted to both a few years ago, so this may be slightly dated info. Personally, I think both could have better training, but in terms of supportive faculty, I would lean Chestnut Hill. What does your offer package look like at both? I would also take into account the theoretical orientations of both programs, which are very different. Did you get advanced standing at CHC by chance? It is a longer program (6 years minimum if you don't have a masters/advanced standing).

Also, CHC has an affiliated consortium internship but I was told at the time that it was not required. You can apply to other internship sites if you want. (e.g. it's not "captive"). Also, this is a completely silly reason but CHC's campus is GORGEOUS 😉

Of course, if School Psych is a big reason why you applied to Kean to begin with, I would definitely choose Kean.

Hi, I am currently looking at Kean University to attend their PsyD program and I was wondering if you could expand more as to why you would not recommend clinicians from Kean in comparison to students from other PsyD programs.
