Doctoral Admissions Policies
Admission to doctoral programs is competitive and limited. All doctoral applicants are expected to have a cumulative GPA in past undergraduate and graduate (if applicable) academic work of no less than 3.00 on a four-point scale; some doctoral programs may have more restrictive GPA requirements. Standardized assessment results, personal statements, academic and professional recommendation letters, and interviews may also be used by program admissions committees in making admissions decisions.
Application to the Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology program requires the following:
- Completed Graduate Application.
- A bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution.
- Official college transcripts from all previous undergraduate and graduate academic work. If the transcripts are from an institution located outside of the United States, students must submit an official course-by-course transcript evaluation from an organization that is a current member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES). A member list is available on the NACES website.
- Cumulative GPA of 3.00 on a four-point scale in past academic work.
- Completed Personal Statement and supplemental questions.
- CV/resume.
- Three academic/professional letters of recommendation (at least two must be from former professors/supervisors of academic work).
- Official GRE scores (waived for the Fall 2021 and Fall 2022 admissions cycles).
Following initial review of application materials, a subset of applicants will be invited to participate in a full-day individual and group interview process. All application components, including interview performance, will be considered in final admissions decisions.
