All applications will be reviewed for conditional admission; however, admission is competitive due to supervision requirements. Conditions of admission are based on student needs and are discussed with the applicant. The admissions committee may contact you to arrange a personal interview. A phone interview may be scheduled if an in-person interview is not practical.

 

Deadlines: Review of applications for fall admission will begin April 1, and letters of acceptance will be sent by April 15. All applications received after April 1 will be reviewed for any remaining positions. Spring admission may be available on a limited basis.

 

Substantial equivalent for admission without a bachelor’s degree in Psychology includes those courses which are prerequisites for graduate courses. These include: general psychology, child/developmental, statistics, abnormal, and learning. Applicants without these courses may be allowed to take these concurrently with graduate studies or demonstrate mastery of subject material.
