UHM Clinical
Psychology Receives Seven-Year Reaccreditation
The Clinical Studies Program in UH Manoa’s psychology department
received its re-accreditation by the American Psychological Association
for an additional
seven years; the maximum number of years that can be granted for accreditation.
APA Accreditation is based on a Five-Year Self-Study Report prepared by the
program and a site visit review conducted by a three-member team.
The successful outcome of CSP's review is attributed to its uncompromising standards
for teaching, program curricula, and research; its dedication to excellence and
program leadership.
