Application Process

We appreciate your interest in admission to our program, and strongly encourageyou to contact any of the faculty or students for further information. Contact information for faculty and graduate students is available via the People link.

Students are admitted to the program only if they intend to work toward the Ph.D. degree. Students who have not earned a master's degree with thesis are required to earn the M.A. degree here before they become candidates for the Ph.D.

To be admitted to the program, students must have earned a bachelor's or master's degree from an accredited college or university, preferably with training in psychology (or a related field) and in one or more other areas such as mathematics, statistics, or computer science. Research experience is also highly desirable.

For application information students should refere to the Gradute Schoool website: http://gradschool.unc.edu/students_prospective.html. Admissions information for Psychology can be found at http://psychology.unc.edu/graduate/admissions.html
