Selection

The Doctoral Admissions Committee is composed of the Chair of Graduate Studies in Psychology, the Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, and doctoral faculty.

The Committee meets once per year in early May. The Committee will review all applications and make decisions based on the applicants overall level of academic performance and other submitted materials. The Committee will also closely review each applicant's background in psychology and education. An interview with the applicant may be recommended. The Committee will select no more than 15 applicants each year for admission. There may be years when a waiting list may be necessary.

Applicants are notified of their status by late May. Each selected student must submit a deposit of $500.00, applicable to the first semester's tuition, by June 15.

All academic advising and interviewing of new and prospective students will be conducted by the Chair of Graduate Studies in Psychology or his designee.

Important: A completed application, including GRE scores, is due to the Office of Graduate Admissions no later than June 1st - no exceptions - no extensions.
