The Department expects an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.0, and students accepted for graduate study typically have an undergraduate GPA of 3.5 or higher. Applicants with a Master's degree must supply records of both undergraduate and graduate course work. Results of the Graduate Record Exam, including the advanced test for psychology, are required of all applicants. Average combined verbal and quantitative scores are above 1100 for the PhD and 1000 for the MA programs. All students admitted into the doctoral program receive financial assistance.
Funding is typically available for four years.
At the present time, financial assistance is ordinarily not available for students in the Master's program. In addition to departmental funding, there are other sources of funding for students, including the Graduate School and research grants of individual faculty members. There are also a variety of loan programs. Additional information about loans is available through the Graduate School as part of the formal application process. This information is available from the Graduate School link below.
