To those interested in applying, Dr. Rutter notes that he is very proud of the Psy.D. program’s commitment to individual mentoring, both by faculty and by senior classmates who provide support for incoming students. Students are assigned mentors from Day 1 in the program, and by the time they graduate, they themselves serve as mentors. “It’s really a neat thing to be a part of,” says Dr. Rutter. In addition, he notes what an honor it is to be at the helm of program with such a long and continuous history of being accredited by APA. “Our most recent site visitors described our program as a hidden gem!”
