*The total number of required hours in each student’s Plan of Study/Residency Plan will vary based on previous graduate coursework, point of entry into the program, program area advisor input, and the Kent State University School Psychology Program requirements. The College and GraduateSchool of Education, Health and Human Services’ minimum requirement for a doctoral degree is 60 credit hours beyond the master’s degree. Given the requirements of the accreditation bodies governing the KSUSchool Psychology Program, the typical number of required hours for the doctoral degree will exceed that of the minimum college requirement. (See page 1 for more information).
