Psychologists seeking credentials for prescribing medication must complete an experiential fellowship. This consists of a one-credit-hour course to be taken after completing the online MS in Clinical Psychopharmacology degree. Responsibility for the fellowship will be that of the individual student with oversight from Drake. The psychologist fellow and supervising prescriber will be responsible for providing the necessary documentation to the state for certification as a prescriber.
Students must have a grade of C or better in all required courses in the program. For courses that may have prerequisite course requirements, a grade of C is required in prerequisite courses prior to progressing in the curriculum.
Similar to academic requirements in other professional degree programs at Drake, failure to achieve a grade above a C after repeating a course will result in being dropped from the program. Other academic requirements to be consistent with APA designation standards may be implemented.
