Students with an interest in neurogerontology, the elderly, or gerontological service delivery systems are especially urged to apply, although students with other research interests are also considered. Application Procedure and Criteria Students are considered for admission for the fall term. In addition to meeting the University's general requirement for admission, applicants to the graduate program in psychology are required to submit scores from the GRE general tests. Only applications for full-time status are considered. All application materials must be received by February 1 so that admission decisions can be made and offers extended by April 1.
Admission is competitive and is limited to four to six students per year.
A variety of factors are considered in choosing students. The program currently enrolls 28 full-time students, representing various ethnic and cultural groups. Student's with a master's degree earned at another university may be admitted directly to post-master's status if their record is equivalent to the requirements for a Drexel master's degree. Although the above admissions criteria generally apply to these students, additional factors are considered. The master's degree should have included an experimental thesis.
