In addition to the University's minimum requirements and those listed above, all applicants are expected to submit a statement of purpose. Admission is for Fall Quarter only and on a full-time basis only. Applications must be complete and received by the department by the deadline to be considered. Interviews (in person or by phone) are required for Behavioral Neuroscience, Clinical, Cognitive, Developmental, Health, Learning and Behavior and Social Area finalists. Those admitted to the Clinical area must pass a Live Scan background check, arranged by the program; this background check is required for participation in clinical practica and internships. The department regards a broad undergraduate background in the behavioral, biological, physical, and social sciences as the best preparation for graduate study in psychology. It is desirable, but not required, to have majored in psychology as an undergraduate. Some college coursework in statistics or advanced mathematics is required; please visit the departmental website for additional information. |
