Students who are considering the possibility of graduate study should discuss their intentions with their Psychology Advisor so that an appropriate course schedule can be planned.
For advice on selecting a specialty in psychology, selecting courses, selecting a graduate school, and preparing application materials, students should consult one or both of these publications, which are available from the Department Chair: (1) Preparing for Graduate Study in Psychology: Not for Seniors Only! And (2) Getting In: A Step-by-Step Plan for Gaining Admission to Graduate School in Psychology.
A third book to be consulted is Graduate Study in Psychology, published annually by the American Psychological Association. It contains a description of all the Psychology graduate programs in the United States, along with the admissions criteria for each program. A copy is available in the Department Chair's office.
Also available in the Department Chair's office are Insider's Guide to Graduate Programs in Clinical and Counseling Psychology and Careers in Social Work.
