An applicant should hold a bachelor' degree in
psychology, education, or other related fields, although graduates
from other fields are encouraged to apply. An applicant should
have a grade point average of 3.0 (B) or higher out of a 4.0 scale
to qualify. Applicants should submit a statement of career objectives,
a resume, three letters of reference, and GRE test scores (Verbal
and Quantitative). All applications should be submitted by
February 15 for the following Fall semester, but will be accepted throughout
the year. Preadmission visits to the campus and conferences with
faculty and students are strongly encouraged.
Prerequisites
A student without a bachelor's degree in psychology may be required to
complete up to nine credit hours of psychology course work at the undergraduate
level before registering for graduate-level courses. A student, who
has not completed a class either in basic principles of learning (or conditioning),
in basic principles of behavior or an introductory class in behavior analysis,
or the equivalent, may not be able to register for ABA core classes until
such a pre-requisite is completed. A student, who has not completed
a physiological psychology class or the equivalent, may not enroll in either
PSY 5105 (Biological Foundations of Behavior) or PSY 5511 (Clinical Psychopharmacology). These
courses are in addition to the 42-credit degree requirement. A student
with no previous behavior analysis-related experience may be required to
obtain such experience prior to enrolling in practicum.
