In addition to the general requirements of the College of Arts and Sciences, the Department of Psychology has the following requirements:

Applicants are expected to have a background in psychology, although an undergraduate major is not required. A minimum of four courses is required: psychological statistics, a course in research methods in psychology, plus two or more content courses in psychology at the junior or senior level. It is recommended that applicants to the clinical program take abnormal psychology as one of the content courses.
The applicant must submit scores that are well above average on the general test of the Graduate Record Examination.
A student in possession of a graduate degree or coursework who is admitted to graduate study may be accorded advanced standing after an evaluation of previous graduate work. The evaluation ordinarily will be conducted during the first semester of enrollment. If the student's previous graduate work did not include courses equivalent to the required core courses and a thesis, these will be required. Students given full credit for master's work elsewhere will have one year in which to complete all work stipulated as conditions of admission or transfer of credit.
Each student must fill out the Supplementary Form for Graduate Study in Psychology.
