Washburn University Opens Doors for Clinical Psychology Program

October 12, 2026 - 21:34

Washburn University has announced a free information session and open house for its Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology program. The event gives prospective students a chance to learn about the degree, meet faculty, and ask questions about the application process.

The open house is designed for anyone considering a career in mental health, whether they are current undergraduates, working professionals, or people returning to school after time away. Attendees will hear about the curriculum, practicum placements, and the path to licensure. Faculty members will be on hand to discuss research opportunities and what the program expects from students.

Clinical psychology remains a growing field, with demand for licensed providers outpacing supply in many communities. Programs like this one aim to prepare graduates for work in hospitals, private practice, community clinics, and schools. The session will also cover financial aid, tuition, and deadlines for the upcoming term.

Those interested in attending should plan to arrive early, as seating may be limited. The event is open to the public and does not require prior registration, though contacting the department in advance is encouraged. This is a chance to get direct answers from the people who teach the courses and supervise the training. For anyone on the fence about applying, the open house offers a low-pressure way to see if the program fits their goals.
