The doctoral program at UGA is designed to produce clinically skilled scientists who, whether engaged in scholarship or service, perform all of their duties in a manner consistent with accepted scientific principles and competencies. Principles of theory, science, and practice represent the three core competencies that are acquired by students during their program of study. These core competencies are developed by students through their explication in four major "content" areas: Child and adolescent development & systems, abnormal psychology, appraisal, and intervention/consultation. Content area knowledge and competencies are systematically developed through participation in coursework, practica, seminar, research team, and informal interactions with faculty, clients, supervisors, colleagues in other disciplines and other students.
