PSYCH 416 - Professional Doctorate Portfolio Capstone and Directed Practice

Professional Doctorate Portfolio Capstone and Directed Practice is designed specifically for students in the Doctor of Evaluation Practice (D.Eval) and Professional Doctorate Organizational Psychology (PsyD) programs. It brings these advanced practitioner groups together to deepen their professional and scholarly work. D.Eval students will use this course as a laboratory for developing their practice-based portfolios, while PsyD students will focus on advancing their practice-based thesis projects. Both groups will benefit from shared learning experiences, gleaning insights from each other’s applied work. Throughout the course, we will use evidence-based tools for success, such as goal-setting, experiential learning from case studies, and structured progress updates. These are designed to support collaborative learning and real-world application. Guest speakers will be invited to provide new perspectives on professional practice and share insights into the diverse applications of their work. By the end of the course, students will have refined their portfolios or thesis projects and developed new practical skills, strengthened by valuable feedback from peers and experts.
