The Graduate Admissions Committee takes a holistic view of the applicant’s qualifications for admissions and seeks students whose GRE scores, writing skills and record of performance at the undergraduate level indicate that they are likely to do well in graduate school. The minimum standards for admission include an undergraduate cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher based on the complete record of undergraduate study, a combined GRE score of 297 or higher (147+ Quantitative Reasoning; 150+ Verbal Reasoning) and a score of 3.0 or higher on the Analytical Writing section. In addition, applicants must have successfully completed, at a minimum, the following undergraduate coursework: 24 credit hours of social sciences (12 of which are in psychology), plus Experimental Psychology (or Research Methods) and Statistical Methods. Applicants who meet the admissions requirements, except for the courses in statistics and Experimental Psychology, may be conditionally admitted but must complete the required courses within the first semester of the program.
