C linical psychology doctoral programs with evangelical Protestant affiliations have granted one of two degrees: a Doctor of Philosophy in psychology (PhD), or a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD). The two evangelical Protestant programs with the longest-standing accreditation by the American Psychological Association (APA), Fuller Seminary's Graduate School of Psychology (founded in 1965) and Biola University's Rosemead School of Psychology (originally founded as a freestanding school in 1970), offer both degrees. Subsequently, APA-accredited clinical psychology doctoral programs with religious affiliations at George Fox University, Wheaton College (Illinois), Azusa Pacific University, and Regent University offer only PsyD degrees. In a recent study, Johnson and McMinn (2003) found that faculty at religiously affiliated APA-accredited programs published as much as their secular counterparts. In a subsequent study, McMinn, Johnson and Haskell (2003) found that the frequency of publication in secular psychology journals over a five-year period was no different between faculty in PsyD programs versus faculty in PhD programs, and this finding applied to secular and religiously affiliated programs alike. Given that faculty in PsyD programs produced scholarship like faculty in PhD programs, Johnson and McMinn (2003) suggested that schools offering integrative PhDs in clinical psychology should either train graduates for research-oriented academic placements or else phase out the PhD and move to PsyD-only train
