Format
Adler’s Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology (PsyD) program is entirely in person, at the Adler school in downtown Toronto, 890 Yonge Street, on the 9th and 10th floors.
PsyD classes involve lectures, presentations, examinations, discussions, and in-class activities and experiential exercises. In person participation in courses is mandatory.
Schedule
PsyD classes take place on Thursdays and Fridays during the day, typically from 9 – 5pm or 9 – 4pm, although this can vary slightly depending on the class. There may be occasional situations where students are asked to participate in events outside of Thursdays/Fridays, such as Orientation Day, Colloquia, and offsite experiential activities. Students will be informed of these dates ahead of time.
Courses are scheduled throughout the year, including summers. There is a two-week Winter break at the end of December, and breaks for statutory holidays.
There is no part-time option for the PsyD program.
Please note: although courses only take place two days a week, students should expect to be committed to the program full-time. On days they are not in class, students will be completing readings, assignments, and preparing for presentations. In the second year of the program, students will be writing on their research capstones and practicum hours in addition to their coursework. The third year of the program is a full-time internship placement.
