Including Virginia, there are six states that specifically do not accept Clinical Psychology Master’s degrees. The other 44 states either state that they do accept psychology degrees or that they would review the curriculum on a case by case basis. Most of the states I reviewed listed the course outlines, just as Virginia does, and if the curriculum meets the guidelines then the person would be accepted. Some of the states would review the program curriculum themselves and then verify that anyone from that program would be accepted. Many of the states I reviewed, if they did have a change in their regulations, there would be an effective date and persons who graduated before this date were granted an exception to the new laws.
