Clinical Psychology (PsyD)

The admission committee considers many variables. The entire set of credentials presented by the applicant is considered. However, a low standing on one criterion [e.g., grade point average (GPA), Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) score] does not automatically mean rejection, nor does one very high standing on one criterion mean automatic acceptance.

心理学院决定对申请2023年秋季入学的学生免除GRE考试.

申请人必须拥有地区认可机构的学士或硕士学位或同等学历. 先前的学术记录必须表明能力和必要的研究生学习.

该计划的最低先决条件是18个学期的心理学本科课程. These include courses in general (intro) psychology, introductory statistics, psychological research methods, and nine semester hours in other upper-division, undergraduate courses. 申请者必须修过心理测试本科课程, but this can be taken after acceptance.

A minimum 3.0 is required in undergraduate and/or graduate coursework. Overall GPA in a degree program and GPA in the psychology courses are both assessed.

The General Test portion is required for all applicants. 非心理学专业或辅修专业的申请人必须参加GRE科目考试. Xavier University's institution code is 1965.

Research experience is also considered. This may reflect anything from collecting data to publication in refereed journals.

In addition, work experience is also assessed. This may include internships and/or work experiences relevant to clinical psychology.

Three letters from academic/research sources, along with those describing other types of experience are required. 强烈建议至少两封来自学术资源的推荐信.

申请人的兴趣与教师的兴趣的兼容性通常被考虑, but is not necessary for acceptance.

The applicant's ability to write, as reflected in their response to the two personal statements, published research, and their response to a writing prompt given on interview day, is also taken into account.

Above all, 申请人应说明为何对临床心理学研究生学习感兴趣, and why they feel Xavier is appropriate for that study.
