Overview: The University of Massachusetts, Amherst clinical psychology program uses a mentorship model for the education of students. This means in practice that individual faculty members select students to work with them. The criteria used for selection depend to a large extent on the compatibility of research interests between student and faculty member. Therefore, in applying for admission to the Clinical Psychology Program, you must indicate the faculty with whom you share research interests on the Faculty Research Interest Ranking Form Pdf to the right. These faculty are the ones who will review your application most carefully. Even if your research interests are not fully formed (and we realize that this is the case for most students), and even if your research interests are likely to change as you develop your career, we still ask you to rank order two faculty who might be your best match.
Faculty: The faculty who will be accepting graduate students for Fall 2013 have not been determined. Please check back in late August/ early September for the finalized list.
More Information: You may also find it useful to review our Student Admissions, Outcomes, and other Data, our Frequently Asked Questions, and our listing of general faculty research areas. Of course, you should feel free to contact faculty members you might be interested in working with directly with questions. Graduate students generally receive funding from a variety of sources, enough to cover some living expenses. Graduate students who work as teaching or research assistants can earn a full tuition waiver. You can also learn more about UMass tuition costs and fees.
Applications: Applications are processed centrally through the University of Massachusetts Graduate School. Please follow the instructions contained at their website when submitting your application. You must also complete and return by email the Faculty Research Interests Ranking Form (on right) to indicate who you would like to work with as a mentor.
Deadlines: Applications for graduate student admission are accepted until December 1.
