Graduate Degrees
Clinical Psychology
The Clinical Psychology PsyD Program at Augsburg University is completing a teachout program for former Argosy University students only. This teachout program is APA-accredited, inactive, and as an APA-accredited program, this program meets educational requirements for psychologist licensure in Minnesota as established by the Minnesota Board of Psychology. Eligibility for psychologist licensure in MN requires completion of a doctoral degree, passage of the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP), one year of supervised practice, and passage of the Minnesota Professional Responsibility Exam. At this time, Augsburg is unable to determine whether the PsyD teachout program meets educational requirements for psychology licensure in any jurisdiction outside of Minnesota.
At this time, for new students or any student not enrolled in the Argosy teachout program, Augsburg is unable to determine whether its PsyD program meets educational requirements in psychology licensure in Minnesota or any in other jurisdiction outside of Minnesota.
