All application materials must be submitted by December 1.
Application Materials
- A graduate school application
- A full set of undergraduate and graduate transcripts
- Three (3) letters of recommendation
- Personal statement
- Departmental questions
- Curriculum vitae
- GRE (Graduate Record Examination) scores optional
- International applicants must submit TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) scores unless the applicant has a bachelor's degree from a predominantly English-speaking country (check here for the official list).
Admission Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution
- An undergraduate and graduate GPA (grade point average) of 3.20 or higher on a 4-point scale
- At least 15 credit hours in psychology
- Three (3) favorable letters of recommendation. The recommendation form must be attached to all reference letters and may be submitted by the recommenders through the online application.

Undergraduate Prerequisites
Except in unusual circumstances, students admitted to the program are expected to have completed at least 15 credit hours in psychology. Although there are no specific undergraduate course prerequisites for program entry, students without coursework in research methods, statistics, and abnormal psychology will likely be at a disadvantage when taking some of the required courses and may be asked by their instructors to complete some remedial activity prior to enrolling in the graduate course (e.g., reading an undergraduate text or taking an undergraduate course).
