ADMISSIONS
INFORMATION
In making our admissions
decisions, we consider applicants' grades and academic record,
GRE's, statement of purpose, letters of recommendation, and programmatic
fit. We select a subset of approximately 40 applicants for interviews
and make final decisions after considering the interviews. We
typically conduct these interviews on two separate dates, one
in mid-February, the other in late February.
Students need to
submit transcripts, results from both the General and Psychology
GRE's, a statement of purpose, three letters of recommendation,
and the university application form. A link to the application
forms is here:
Graduate
Admissions Information and On-Line Application and Forms
Minimum requirements
for admission include a 3.0 grade point average (GPA; on a 4-point
scale) in the undergraduate program, calculated on the last 60
credit hours of course work completed and available at the time
of consideration of application for admission. Also, students
must have maintained a cumulative grade point average of at least
3.0 (on a 4.00 scale) in all relevant graduate work for which
a grade has been awarded. An applicant may be admitted without
the 3.0 undergraduate GPA if he or she (a) has maintained either
a 3.3 cumulative GPA in a master's degree program at an accredited
institution; or (b) has maintained a 3.5 cumulative GPA in the
last 12 credit hours which are part of a master's or doctoral
program still in progress at such an institution at the time
of evaluation of the application or in graduate work taken in
nondegree status at American University and applicable to the
degree program for which he or she is applying. This GPA is a
minimum requirement. Typically admission to the clinical program
requires a higher GPA. Data on those admitted in recent years
is available at:

The availability
of financial aid for incoming students is determined each year.
In recent years, we have been able to fund 3-4 members of the
incoming class. This funding has included tuition remission and
a stipend, renewable for four years, contingent upon maintaining
good academic standing.
