New York Psychology Licensure Requirements

500

New York requires EPPP Part 1 (Knowledge) only; the passing standard corresponds to the ASPPB scaled score of 500 (NY has historically reported a converted score of ~75). Confirm the current standard with NYSED.

Two years of full-time supervised experience (3,500 clock hours). No more than 1,750 hours may be the doctoral internship; the remainder must be postdoctoral.

Not required

New York does not list a separate state jurisprudence exam for psychologist licensure. Confirm with NYSED.

1. Earn a qualifying doctoral degree in psychology.
2. Complete two years (3,500 hours) of supervised experience — up to 1,750 as the doctoral internship, the rest postdoctoral.
3. Pass the EPPP (Part 1) at New York's required standard.
4. Submit the application, exam scores, and fee to NYSED, Office of the Professions.

Not a PSYPACT member

New York is NOT a PSYPACT participating state (legislation introduced but not enacted as of the verified date). NY offers licensure by endorsement for psychologists licensed elsewhere who meet requirements; confirm with NYSED.
