SmallerMasters Program Advisors
Masters students are advised by the director of their respective masters programs. General advising activities (e.g., course selection, graduation planning) are handled by the masters program assistants. Masters students are also assigned a faculty mentor, who may also serve as a resource for educational and career planning.
Changing Tracks in the Masters Programs
Masters students may request to change tracks between one counseling track to another, or one social psychology track to another, by completing the Request form (found online). The student must include a rationale for the program change. The program director of the new program will review the request; if she or he approves it, it must then be approved by the Department Chair before the student will be coded into the new program. If a student requests a change from social psychology to counseling or vice versa, the request must be approved by director of the new program before the Chair will review it.
Probationary Admission Policy
CPSY will consider probationary or conditional admission to the masters programs in social psychology or counseling only during the summer admissions period.
"Probationary" admission is for applicants who have been denied admission by the Graduate School but who still wish to attend our program. "Conditional" admission is for applicants who have been cleared by the Graduate School but whose applications are uneven; typically these are students with low GRE scores but higher GPAs. IN both cases, applicants MUST provide verbal and quantitative GRE scores at least the 34th percentile. Those applicants much also provide a letter that justifies why such an exception is warranted. The admissions committee will determine the candidate's eligibility for the program.
To obtain admission to the graduate program, students admitted on probationary or conditional status must earn at least a 3.5 GPA average across three graduate courses as identified by the Department. Candidates have no more than two semesters in which to take these courses.
