Applicants to the Psy.D. program must have a baccalaureate degree earned from a college or university regionally accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency or an equivalent academic degree from a foreign college or university. Applicants should have a grade point average of 3.25 or higher on a 4.0 scale for all undergraduate and graduate course work. The Graduate Record Examination or Miller Analogies Test scores are not required; however, applicants who have taken either of these exams can submit their scores for consideration with other application materials. Applicants must have at least 18 semester credit hours in psychology with grades of "C" or better. Minimum required courses include introductory or general psychology, personality theory, abnormal psychology, and research methods.

Practicum or work experience in psychology or a related field is highly desirable and is considered in the evaluation of applicants. Applicants who have a record of commitment to and experiences in community service nationally and/or abroad are particularly invited to apply for the doctoral program.

Approved applicants will be invited to a personal interview as a final step in the application process.
