Stevenson’s Psy.D. program has been developed to be consistent with APA accreditation standards. APA permits programs to apply for accreditation once the first cohort has been enrolled and made progress in the program so that an accreditation decision can be made before that cohort graduates from the program. The program has been approved by the Maryland Higher Education Commission and the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.
