Program Requirements

Acceptance of an applicant by the department is based on a review of all available evidence predictive of probable academic success and eventual professional achievement of a high order. However, since there are many highly qualified applicants for each available position, it is necessary to turn away some students who undoubtedly could succeed in a doctoral program.

Most students with an undergraduate grade-point average between "A" and "B" probably could perform satisfactorily in a graduate program. However, competition for admission is so intense that applicants actually invited to enter training are likely to have an "A-" average or better. An applicant with no better than a "B" average, to be seriously considered, would probably have to offer strong evidence that they are in fact capable of a higher level of achievement. 

At this time, the GRE is not required for application to our doctoral progrm.

Applicants whose native language is not English must demonstrate English proficiency, unless they meet the criteria for an exemption. Please visit the site below for information about English proficiency requirements.
