As an evangelical Christian institution, Biola University requires that an applicant has been a Christian for at least one year prior to admission. Biola does not discriminate on the basis of the applicant's race, color, sex, handicap, or national or ethnic origin. Persons interested in attending Rosemead should request application forms from the Director of Admissions of Biola University. As in most graduate programs in psychology, competition is keen and enrollment is limited.
Developmental psychology is an admissions requirement.
If students have not taken the course before they are admitted into the program, they must take it at the undergraduate or graduate level before completion of the doctoral program. If possible, undergraduate courses in Old and New Testament survey and hermeneutics will strengthen the student's preparation for Rosemead. Information regarding testing dates and location may be obtained by writing to the Educational Testing Service, Box 955, Princeton, New Jersey 08540. No applicant is exempt from submitting GRE scores which must be received prior to the deadline date of January 15. This test should be taken at a college testing service or from a licensed psychologist.
