What Clinical Psychology Grad School Alumni Are Saying
My favorite part of the clinical psychology degree program was the small class sizes; you get to have a close relationship with your professors and peers. Wherever you see yourself in the mental health field, Vanguard will prepare you for the journey. And if you’re looking for integration of faith in the classroom, this is the program for you. Now in private practice—not too far from campus—I am constantly being reminded of lessons and clinical skills that I learned at Vanguard.Jacqueline Islas
