Requirements for Admission

There are three minimum requirements that must be met in applying for admission as a regular graduate student:

1. A bachelor’s degree or its equivalent from an accredited institution in the United States or proof of equivalent training at a university in another country. Each applicant is required to have one official transcript from each institution of higher learning attended (including postgraduate studies) sent to the Admissions Office.
2. Evidence of relevant academic preparation for the graduate training sought. If the bachelor’s degree was earned in an unrelated field, evidence of prior formal preparation (usually via postgraduate studies) must be submitted.
3. Scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test (Clinical Psychology only). International students from countries where English is not the official language must also submit scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS).

In addition to the above, a minimum of three Letters of Recommendation are required, but applicants may submit up to five. All Letters of Recommendation must be directly uploaded as part of the online application. Applicants must request that the GRE and TOEFL scores be sent directly to the Admissions Office.
