Excerpts from the Admission Policy for Graduate Standing:

• Only students who are interested in full-time graduate study are considered for admission.
• It is the policy of the department to admit only those students whose goal is the Ph.D. in psychology and who are considered by the Admissions Committee as likely to complete the doctorate. The M.A. degree is viewed as a subgoal, which is only one of several requirements for obtaining the Ph.D.
• The deadline for applications to be considered for fall admission to psychology is January 1.
• Admissions are considered only for the fall semester. Students are not admitted to the graduate programs on a part-time or probationary basis.
