Admission Process

​Curriculum

Students are accepted into the program on a full-time basis. Before arriving on campus, each student is assigned a clinical faculty member. This faculty member aids the student in his or her passage through the program. Students entering with a BA/BS degree are required to complete approximately 108 graduate credit hours. Although some courses may be waived based on prior graduate work, no more than 30 credit hours can be transferred.  

 

Application Deadline

The deadline for receipt of all applications materials is December 1 for the Clinical Program. In addition to grades and GRE scores (subject portion not required), the Admissions Committee is attentive to letters of recommendation, personal statements, and relevant professional experiences. Admissions criteria select students who have general academic preparation in psychology and psychology-related research methodology.
