As a faculty member of the Virginia Tech Department of Psychology, I fully support the petition for the addition of Psychological Clinical Science Accreditation System (PCSAS) as an accreditor of doctoral degrees in psychology to educational qualifications for licensure eligibility: Regulation 18VAC125-20-54.

Graduates from PCSAS accredited programs demostrate a high caliber of professional and scientific knowledge, and are adequately prepared to seek licensure.
