This video will give you a rare look into the Wheaton College doctoral programs in clinical psychology through the eyes of students.

A little context - okay, maybe a lot - is needed before you watch this. Each year, the program celebrates and commemorates the year at a banquet on the eve of Spring Commencement. Each of the student cohorts in Year Four, Three, and Two provides a five-to-ten minute video for the class directly behind them as a kind of heads-up. These are often humorous, exaggerated looks at the highs and the lows experienced by students. In 2017, the 4th year students rolled out a parody of the movie Inside Out which touches on a number of joys, anxieties, fears, and excitement that come during the program.  

We hope you get a good laugh and a good sense of the programs as you glimpse the life of a Clinical Psychology student at Wheaton College.
