If your material does not arrive by that date, it will not be included in your file. Students must meet the general admission requirements for both universities. Acceptance to the doctoral program requires high verbal and quantitative GRE scores as well as a strong overall grade point average. Students whose undergraduate degrees are in subjects other than psychology should have a minimum of 18 semester units, or 27 quarter units, in psychology courses, including physiological psychology, statistical methods, psychological testing, abnormal psychology, personality, social psychology, and an experimental laboratory in psychology. Students will be given a screening placement test in statistics prior to the beginning of classes.
Any student has the right to attempt to waive a specific class requirement.
Such waivers must have the consent of the instructor and approval of both Program Directors. In the past, there have been very few approvals granted. All graduate and postbaccalaureate applicants, regardless of citizenship, whose preparatory education was principally in a language other than English must demonstrate competence in English. Individual degree programs may prescribe a higher minimum score. It may also be important for you to be aware that classes are held at both universities which are located in different parts of the city.
