School of Professional and Applied Psychology

The School of Professional and Applied Psychology Faculty Committee on Admissions utilizes a rolling admissions policy. Therefore, applications for each program will be considered throughout the year as received until the desired enrollment has been achieved. Applications for the Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology (PsyD) program can be submitted online via PsycologyCAS.  Applications for all other programs within the School of Professional and Applied Psychology can be submitted through the PCOM Online Application by visiting pcom.edu/admissions then clicking on the program of interest under HOW TO APPLY.

The Faculty Committee on Admissions screens the applications, invites some applicants for an interview, evaluates the applicants and selects the new students. Following the completion of the admissions process, each applicant is notified of the Admission Committee’s decision in writing, including any conditions that must be satisfied prior to or following enrollment.

All programs within the School of Professional and Applied Psychology begin in the Fall term (late August start).
