The Department of Psychology participates in the Virginia Consortium Program in Clinical Psychology. This unified program is offered jointly by Old Dominion University and Norfolk State University and is accredited by the American Psychological Association. The combined efforts of these institutions give considerable breadth and depth to this unique program. Students take classes at both institutions and are engaged in research activities and clinical work throughout their training. The Program follows a scientist-practitioner training model. The Virginia Consortium emphasizes the following areas in its training model: (1) ethics; (2) multiculturalism; (3) research; (4) assessment; (5) intervention; (6) consultation, supervision, and leadership.

About
- It is a five year (4+1) program. The first two years are largely didactic, although students are involved in clinical practica and research (including a master's thesis or foundational research project).
- One of our primary goals is for students to become proficient at integrating theory, research, and practice.
- The Virginia Consortium provides a systematic sequence of supervised pre-internship practica in which students apply the knowledge and skills acquired in the classroom to clinical settings.
- Faculty at both consortia institutions are involved in teaching and research supervision. Some faculty are involved in clinical supervision as well.
