How does the graduate application process work?

Each graduate program has its own unique process, but applicants can expect the following general steps:

1. Submit the application and all application materials to PSYCAS.
2. An Admissions Committee gives each complete application a comprehensive review.
3. Based on the initial review, qualified applicants are invited to interview. Interview details such as format and time may vary from program to program.
4. Applicants will be notified of their admission decision via email. The amount of time it takes to receive a decision varies by program.

Qualified applicants who are invited to interview will receive more details via email about their respective program’s interview process. Most interviews are virtual, although the doctoral programs may have in-person interviews or events.
