Department of Psychology
College of Liberal Arts

A major goal of this program is retention and graduation of students within the prescribed five years. This is best accomplished by selecting applicants who have the educational foundation, motivation, and personality characteristics required to successfully complete an intensive and rigorous doctoral program.

Admission to the program is very competitive.  There are a limited number of slots available each year. Due to limited space within the program, solely meeting the minimal application standards does not guarantee admission into the program.  Invitations to be interviewed by the graduate faculty are extended to applicants that pass the initial screening process, which is conducted by the entire graduate faculty. Shortly after the interview process is completed, the interviewed applicants will be notified about the status of their application.
