Admission

As in most graduate programs in psychology, competition for admission is keen and enrollment is limited. In order to be admitted to full graduate stand­ ing the applicant must comply with the following: (1) Possess a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or uni­ versity with an average grade of at least "B" for the junior and senior years. (2) Present an undergraduate program including either a major in psy­ chology or a minimum of 30 semester hours of credit in psychology. This must include at least one course each in General Psychology, Statistical Methods, Abnormal Psychology, Theories of Personality, and Learning. (3) Submit scores on the aptitude tests and the psychology advanced test of the Graduate Record Examination. This test is administered under the auspices of the Educational Testing Service. Information regarding testing dates and locations may be obtained by writing to the Educational Testing Service, Box 955, Princeton, New Jersey 08540. (4) Submit results of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory and the Strong Vocational Interest Blank. These tests may be taken at most college testing services or from a licensed psychologist in clinic or private practice. (5) Submit five letters of recommendation on forms supplied by the graduate school. Three of these are academic references and two are character references. (6) Appear for a personal interview with the admissions committee or its area representative. Since Rosemead's programs include professional experience, it is important that students possess the personality strengths and character to deal effectively in a variety of interpersonal and professional relationships. Personal as well as academic screening avoids the pitfalls of allowing a student to pur­ sue a course of study in preparation for a vocation which is poten­ tially unsuited to his personality. A fee of $35 is due and payable to the Graduate School following notification to have this interview. Registration deadline is February 16. Students may be accepted after February 16, however priority will be given to those who have met this deadline.
