Graduates would be awarded phd because they do a dissertation. Most common but others are becoming popular as well: the practitioner-scholar (vail) model: leaning toward practice. Leads to a psyd instead of a phd. Coursework is more directly focused on practice and less on research and statistics: the clinical scientist model: leaning toward science. Very strong emphasis on the scientific method and evidence-based clinical methods.
