What mentoring system is in place for graduate psychology?
Posted Monday, July 13, 2009 by Psychology Department
Once you have accepted an offer for admission to the doctoral psychology program or the psychology master's degree programs in the School of Psychological Sciences at the University of Indianapolis you will be contacted by the Graduate Psychology Association (GPA) to be assigned a peer mentor to help you acclimate to your new environment.  The GPA is a student-run organization.  Current graduate students volunteer to mentor the new incoming students.  Your peer mentor can help you with many things, such as advising about 'good' apartments, finding your way around campus or Indy, forming study groups or just finding the best grad student relaxation spots around.  Your peer mentor will work with you as long as you want or need.  Of course, you will also be assigned a faculty advisor who can help you in any number of ways, personal or academic.

Can I transfer credits from another school for the psychology masters or doctoral program?
Posted Monday, July 6, 2009 by Psychology Department
Yes, you can!  Up to 15 hours of equivalent graduate coursework can be transferred for either the psychology doctoral program or the psychology master's programs.  Because of APA requirements the transferred courses must be equivalent to courses offered in the UIndy curriculum.  You must have attained a grade of B or better for the transfer credit to be considered.  Also, any transferred coursework must have been completed within the past 5 years.  You must petition for transfer credit and supply a detailed course syllabus and academic transcript.  There are specific deadlines that must be adhered to for your petition to be considered.  In certain limited situations more than 15 credit hours of transfer credit may be considered.  Please contact the Director of Graduate Programs at ddowning@uindy.edu or the Director of Student Services at keatonma@uindy.edu if you have specific questions.

How soon can I earn my doctorate in clinical psychology?
Posted Monday, June 29, 2009 by Psychology Department
There are several options for completion of the doctoral program in clinical psychology at the University of Indianapolis.  Your unique circumstances will determine which program you choose.  The fastest route to the doctorate degree in clinical psychology and the minimum length of time allowed by state law licensing requirements is the 3 + 1 program.  This program gives you three years of coursework and one year of internship and is most popular with students entering the doctoral program with a master's degree in clinical psychology.  The 4 + 1 program is the most commonly selected program.  The 4 + 1 program allows you to complete a master's degree along with the doctorate, gives you time to complete your dissertation prior to going on internship and gives you the option to add extra practicum hours to your resume.  The master's degree, the completed dissertation and the extra practicum will give you a definite advantage when it comes to internship time.  There is also a 5 + 1 program for anyone who needs a less intense course load for completing their degree.  Once you begin your program you will have plenty of opportunity to discuss these options with your advisor.

Testing required!
Posted Monday, June 15, 2009 by Psychology Department
Hate standardized tests?  Sorry, but there is no way out of the GRE requirement for admission to the School of Psychological Sciences doctoral or master's programs.  And you need to score well to be competitive with the majority of our applicants.
 
Took the GRE, but it was long ago?  Sorry, but if it was more that five years ago you will have to do it again. 
 
What score must I get?  If you scored below 500 on any part, you really need to do some more studying and try to improve your scores.  Our average scores for the incoming class of 2008 were 600 for the doctoral (PsyD) program and 520 for the psychology master's programs on the verbal, quantitative and psychology subject sections of the GRE.  You don't have to take the GRE Psychology Subject test, but scoring well can give you an advantage over someone who did not take the test or someone who did not do too well.  If you don't score well, it will not count against you, so just DO IT!

How do I apply for Graduate Psychology programs?
Posted Monday, June 8, 2009 by Psychology Department
Now that you know something about the University of                      
Indianapolis and the School of Psychological Sciences, I'm sure
you are wondering how to apply for the doctoral degree in clinical
psychology or a psychology master's degree.  It's very easy, but
there are deadlines to consider.  Applications for the doctoral
degree in clinical psychology (PsyD) must be postmarked by
January 10 and psychology master's degree applications must be
postmarked by February 25.  Here's what you need to do:
 
  1. Go to the SoPS website, complete the online application and pay the $55 application fee.  You will also submit your personal statement at this time.
  2. Ask three people to write letters of recommendation for you.  Be careful when you choose these people.  The idea here is to give us more insight into your potential to succeed in our programs.
  3. Contact each of your post-secondary schools to request an official transcript be sent to the University of Indianapolis, School of Psychological Sciences.
  4. Sign up and take the GRE General Test and the GRE Psychology Subject Test and send the scores to us.  The Psych Subject test is not required, but it can certainly help you!
  5. If you are an international student there are a few more things you must do.

That's all there is to it.  We will let you know as soon as we receive your application.  Still not sure?  Receive a viewbook by mail or email the Director of Student Services at psychology@uindy.edu or visit our website.
