Admission Requirements

Academic Requirements

We are looking for well-qualified students who have a broad undergraduate background as well as psychology courses, laboratory courses in experimental psychology, a good science, math and computer background, and a course or more in statistics. All of the following documents and information must be received before an applicant can be considered for admission: 1) University application form, 2) Departmental application, 3) GRE scores – verbal, quantitative and analytical, 4) Three letters of reference, preferably from those who are familiar with your work in psychology, 5) Transcripts of all previous college education.

We look for a GPA above 3.5 and Verbal and Quantitative scores above 150. We are flexible about these scores, but the overall picture from GPA, GRE, letters of reference and personal statement needs to be convincing. The clinical program is more competitive, so your scores need to meet these requirements for consideration. Research experience and publications help.
