The essential requirements for admission are a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution and a record of achievement that shows a strong promise of success in the program's course work and activities in research and clinical work. Applicants should have at least 15 hours of credit in psychology, including statistics and research methodology. The application process is highly competitive.

Highly rated applicants will have some forms of relative experience appropriate to their level in psychological research and applied interactions with children. Admissions criteria include transcripts and grade-point averages from previous educational institutions, scores on the Graduate Record Examination (Verbal, Quantitative, Analytical, and, for students who did not major in psychology, the Advanced Test in Psychology), statement of applicant's career interests, statement of experience in research and with clinical populations, statement of interests in clinical and research work with program faculty, and three letters of recommendation.
