Masters Application

M.A. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Applicants are expected to have 15 hours of course work in psychology, including a statistics course and an experimental laboratory course in psychology (PSYC 304, 305, or 309); however, these criteria may be waived or modified, on a case-by-case basis, for engineers, computer scientists, or other non-traditional applicants. Admission is competitive.

The following are also required:

- GPA of 3.00 on a 4.00 scale for the last 60 hours of undergraduate work
- A minimum GPA of 3.25 in undergraduate psychology courses
- Scores from the Graduate Record Examination taken within the last five years
- Three letters of reference from professors or supervisors
-Biographical statement describing the applicant's background, experience, and goals for the HF-AC program.
-A GMU Graduate Admission Application

Work experience, publications, or special recommendations may compensate for deficiencies in other qualifications. Because space is limited, fulfillment of the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to the graduate program.
