In addition to meeting the general University requirements, applicants for admission are expected to have received an average grade of B in their total undergraduate courses and in their areas of specialization.

Applicants should have completed at least 15 credits in undergraduate psychology courses, including one laboratory course in experimental psychology and one course in statistics. A maximum of 6 credits of these 15 may be in child and/or adolescent development or educational psychology courses completed in an education sequence. A student may be admitted conditionally with a 6-credit deficiency; these credits are to be made up, without credit toward the doctoral degree, within the first year of matriculation. The student is expected to have received at least a B in any graduate courses used for advanced standing. The applicant may be requested to appear for an interview.

It is expected that each student in the program will have had or will acquire teaching experience in the nursery to 12th-grade range. A student may be admitted without such experience but will be required to enroll in the Instructional Practicum, without credit, to acquire teaching experience.

Although a part-time program is available, priority will be given to applicants who can be full-time students in the program.
