Hi everyone,

Our clinical psychology program has recently been accredited by the American Psychological Association. However, our program is still not widely known since we are fairly new (established in 2014), so we typically receive fewer applicants than other accredited programs. As such, I thought I would post here to answer any questions you have about our program, and to ask you to consider applying.

As is typical for clinical psychology PhD programs, our program is funded with all students receiving a tuition waiver and stipend. Further information, including our full disclosure data, can be found here: Clinical Psychology Ph.D. Requirements - Mississippi State University Department of Psychology.

Below are the core and affiliated faculty who will be considering applications this year:

Carolyn Adams-Price, Ph.D. Interested in gerontology, creativity, and gender differences. People - Mississippi State University Department of Psychology

Kevin Armstrong, Ph.D. Interested in Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and illicit use of stimulant medications. People - Mississippi State University Department of Psychology

Hilary DeShong, Ph.D. Interested in assessment of personality traits and disorders, personality-related constructs (psychopathology, narcissism, machiavellianism), and maladaptive behaviors (non-suicidal self-injury, substance use, suicidal behavior). People - Mississippi State University Department of Psychology

Cliff McKinney, Ph.D. Interested in how parenting relates to psychological adjustment with emphases on gender, parental psychopathology, discipline, and emerging adulthood. People - Mississippi State University Department of Psychology

Danielle Nadorff, Ph.D. Interested in custodial grandchildren (children whose primary caregivers are their grandparents) and their grandparents. In particular, social, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral outcomes for these grandchildren in relation to those raised in foster care. People - Mississippi State University Department of Psychology

Michael Nadorff, Ph.D. Interested in behavioral sleep medicine, suicidal behavior, and clinical gerontology. People - Mississippi State University Department of Psychology

Arazais Oliveros, Ph.D. Interested in child welfare and prevention of maltreatment, parental mental health and influence on parent-child relationship, parenting influences on emotion regulation, attachment, and emotion dysregulation. People - Mississippi State University Department of Psychology

H. Colleen Sinclair, Ph.D. Interested in interpersonal relationships, social influence, psychology and social policy and law, and aggressive behavior. People - Mississippi State University Department of Psychology

Please feel free to ask me any questions you have about our program, our mentors, etc. Thank you for considering our program!

Michael

Thank you both, I really appreciate it! We have a very good team, which makes a huge difference as DCT, and the program has really taken shape over the last few years. We also have a lot more faculty submitting/hitting on grants, which has added a lot to the program.

Also, Mississippi is a great place to live during graduate school. Very low cost of living, which is perfect because one will be in the lab most of the time anyway :). It is also a great place to write grants from because it is not a hard case to make that Mississippi needs resources.
