Hello all,
Is a clinical PhD or PsyD track the best path to follow in order to eventually reach my goal of working at a university counseling center in both a counseling and administrative role? (e.g. Director of Counseling). I know that the Counseling Psych PhD is popular with this goal in mind, but many of those programs seem to require a Masters degree before going on to the doctoral track - which would be both expensive and time consuming. I am a career changer and having been out of school for some time now, would like to avoid doing two degrees if I can achieve my goals by going directly to the doctoral path. Any insight?
Thanks!
