Applicants should describe their research interests and identify a potential mentor from the Psychology faculty. Applicants to the Clinical concentration who make the first cut will be invited for an interview.
To be considered for admission, applicants must meet the criteria for admission to the Graduate School . Meeting these criteria does not guarantee admission.
For applicants seeking admission in the Clinical concentration, successful admission will be contingent upon completion of a Criminal Background Check that will be reviewed by the Clinical Admissions Committee and the Graduate School. The Criminal Background Check is required for licensure as a psychological associate and because psychology trainees are placed in professional agencies with policies regarding criminal histories. Applicants who are recommended for admission will be contacted with instructions.
