We are pleased to offer outstanding graduate programs at the Palo Alto University that we feel will serve you well in attaining your goal of becoming a clinical psychologist. As you are looking at the educational opportunities that PAU can afford, it would be our pleasure to assist in this process any way that we can. Our goal in the admissions office is to provide you with as much information as possible so that you are able to make an informed decision about your educational and career goals. Several open houses are held throughout the year, which are excellent opportunities to meet current students, faculty and staff. In addition, we are happy to schedule at your convenience a personal tour or information session, arrange for you to sit in on a class, or to put you in touch with current students and faculty.
We are very proud of the success of our students. With established doctoral training programs since 1975, our students consistently place in many of the most competitive internship sites nationwide. In addition, our student's outstanding licensure pass rates each year place Pacific Graduate School of Psychology at PAU among the highest of schools that have 6 or more students take the California Board Licensing Exams. This exceptional performance during their training has led to a wonderful variety of career opportunities following graduation as professional clinical psychologists.
We hope that you will find PAU to be a wonderful environment for your professional development. For example, our Kurt and Barbara Gronowski clinic has already been awarded over $1,000,000 in grants aimed at developing effective treatments for clients with serious mental illness and transporting them into the community. PAU is a school where you can be in the vanguard in learning, practicing, and helping to develop new treatments. The excellent PAU faculty, low student/faculty ratio, and rigorous academic programs ensure the quality teaching and mentoring necessary to produce outstanding graduates, and we would be very pleased to have you join our exceptional class of incoming students.
If you have any questions regarding our school, programs, or requirements please do not hesitate to contact the admissions office at (800) 818-6136 or Dacien Sims, Director of Admissions at (650) 433-3848.
