A Ph.D. program in applied psychology trains students to become scholars of psychology's applications in the workplace and in educational settings. Research is an integral component of such programs. Individuals with Ph.D.s in Applied Psychology are qualified to work as consultants for nonprofit organizations, industries and businesses or as researchers for universities. Over the course of a typical program, candidates usually complete their programs of study in the first couple years and then devote the remaining time to studying and passing comprehensive department exams as well as researching, composing and defending their dissertations.
