\u201cAs a very young program, I\u2019m incredibly pleased at this outcome, especially given its implications for our first graduates in 2020,\u201d said Program Chair Kelli Johnson, Ph.D. \u201cThe Accreditation on Contingency status confirms the quality of the education and training we provide to our students and our dedication to making\u00a0a meaningful contribution to the mental health community in Louisiana.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis accreditation is a great tribute to the hard work of faculty in the program and how they have put the curriculum and experiences together,\u201d said Xavier University of Louisiana President Reynold Verret, Ph.D. \u201cIt opens up a lot of prospects for graduates of the program, including more opportunities for APA-accredited internships and an easier path towards licensure post-graduation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a particular thrill to congratulate XULA, Dr. Johnson and the dedicated faculty and staff on this achievement,\u201d said The Chicago School President Michele Nealon, Psy.D. \u201cWhen Xavier and The Chicago School partnered to bring the first Clinical Psy.D. Program to New Orleans, our goal was to help meet the mental and behavioral health needs of the region. Indeed, students are already making a positive impact in the New Orleans community through their volunteer, practicum and internship training. Earning this accreditation is no small feat, and the recognition is further proof that our institutions made the right decision.\u201d<\/p>\n
