Admissions Requirements

Our graduate program is at the Ph.D. level. Although we do award M.S. degrees, these are available only as part of the work toward a Ph.D. We require the GRE general tests and strongly recommend the advanced subject test in Psychology. Students are admitted once each year. The application deadline is December 15 for admission the following fall. Applications completed by December 15 are guaranteed full review. Applications received after the deadline may be reviewed at the discretion of the program faculty. Top-rated applicants will be invited to interview on campus in late February or early March; other interview opportunities may be arranged at the discretion of Program faculty. Applicants will be considered for fall admission only and will be informed of admission decisions by April 15 whenever possible. Typically, the program admits 3-4 students per year. Candidates from underrepresented populations are strongly encouraged to apply. For more information about the admissions process, please see the links below:
