For a PsyD program to receive APA accreditation, they may need a research requirement of some kind (since APA still follows the scientist-practitioner model). In many states, to be licensed, you need to come from an APA accredited program.

This, in my previous experience, is true of nearly all PsyD students.

Which makes me wonder: why do PsyD programs have dissertations at all?
