About the area:

 

“The program faculty are always willing to meet if I have questions, and they always want to hear concerns and comments to improve the program.”

-2nd year child clinical student

“I was so pleasantly surprised by the area. As someone who moved across the country to be here, I wasn't expecting a lot from Ohio--but it has really impressed me! It's actually really beautiful around here, there are so many beautiful parks to explore nearby, and it's a quick drive to larger cities and all they have to offer.”

-4th year social-health student

“The kind of people that are attracted and accepted here are generally really easy to get along with.”

-4th year cognitive student

“There are diverse course offerings, but the course requirements are flexible, not burdensome. “

-3rd year experimental student

“My favorite thing about the clinical program at Kent State is the collegial atmosphere among the graduate students. Rather than competition, there is an attitude of support and collaboration.”

-Aimee Smith, 5th year child clinical student

“To me, Kent is a beautiful hybrid of a town. It has a Midwestern feel to it which makes it comfortable, but also has (and is in driving distance of) a lot of culture and diversity. You can go hiking in a national park and see the symphony all in one weekend.”

-Liz Baker, 2nd year social-health student

“One of the appealing qualities about the Clinical Psychology doctoral program at Kent State was the quality and level of expertise of the faculty members on staff.”

-3rd year clinical student

“The quantitative strengths of the program are commendable. Many of the faculty are quant experts and have the ability to teach others their expertise.”

-Alynn Gordon, 3rd year social-health student
