applicants will be asked to submit a complete undergraduate transcript, official scores from the general Graduate Record
Examination, two letters of recommendation/reference, and
an essay describing their interests and goals of graduate education in psychology. The deadline for applications is March 1st, with rolling admissions thereafter. Applications received after March 1st will be considered only if there is space available. Students with an undergraduate GPA below 3.25 may be admitted on a probationary basis.
A non-refundable deposit equivalent to one graduate credit, which is applied to tuition, is required upon the
student's acceptance of admission.
