If one of the required subdisciplines of applied clinical psychology was included in a student's master’s program, the program will permit the student to select a substitute course that would provide the student with exposure to an area to which the student was not exposed in her or his master’s program. Students, with program permission may substitute a 500-level psychology course for a required course she or he had previously taken in a master’s program.
