Chaminade University of Honolulu and the Hawaii School of Professional Psychology announced March 18 that Chaminade will offer the PsyD program formerly hosted by Argosy University, which closed last month.
The only program of its kind in Hawaii, the PsyD is a five-year program that culminates in a professional doctorate in psychology degree preparing graduates for practice in psychotherapy and psychological testing. The program has approximately 100 students and faculty members, all of whom will be welcomed at Chaminade.
Chaminade advisors will work with the students to ensure a smooth transition. Students will be able to continue on their current PsyD program with their same faculty members and courses.
“The stability and success of our students is our number one priority, and we thank the many team members who worked quickly and extensively to make this a reality,” said Lynn Babington, president of Chaminade University, in a news release.
“We also appreciate the swift action pending approvals from the two accrediting agencies, the American Psychological Association (APA) and WSCUC (WASC Senior College and University Commission), to ensure a seamless transition for the affected students,” she said.
