In addition, applicants are asked to clarify educational objectives, areas of intended focus, and career goals. A one-year supervised predoctoral clinical internship or other research internship is also required depending upon whether the student elects a clinical or research track. The qualified and accepted student may enter the degree program holding either a bachelor's degree or a master's degree. The maximum amount of transfer credit for appropriate master's work is 30 semester hours. A student may transfer a maximum of 12 appropriate semester hours beyond the master's degree.
All transfer credit is subject to approval by the student's advisor.
All program requirements must be met when prior graduate work is transferred. It should be noted that any applicant who does not meet these minimum standards will not be forwarded by the graduate school to the department for review. Before being admitted to either the master's or the doctoral program, the applicant must meet the requirements for admission to the Toulouse School of Graduate Studies specified in the General Information Section of this catalog. Admission to graduate degree programs in psychology is competitive, as available facilities do not permit admission of all qualified applicants. Applying is a two-part process.
