Adler School of Professional Psychology Catalog 2008 – 2009

Admissions Policies and Procedures
Application Process
The Adler School of Professional Psychology takes pride in its diverse
student body, representing a wide range of professional interests, ethnic and
cultural backgrounds, and academic and work histories. The School admits
individuals with a record of outstanding academic achievement and a
commitment to social responsibility. Ideal candidates for admission are those,
who will make a difference in the lives of the individuals, families, and in the
communities they plan to serve upon graduation.
All applicants for admission to Adler School degree programs and
specializations must have a baccalaureate degree from a college or university
that is regionally accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency or an
equivalent academic degree from a foreign college or university. In addition, all
applicants must fulfill the minimum admission requirements for the program
they choose and must demonstrate acceptable proficiency in spoken and
written English. Applicants nearing completion of a baccalaureate degree may
apply for early admission contingent upon successful completion of the
undergraduate degree.
Possession of the minimum requirements does not ensure admission. The
School reserves the right to admit or deny admission based on the professional
judgment of the faculty and administration involved in the admissions process.
Applicants must submit the following:
• Adler School Application for Admission;
• Autobiographic essay/personal statement;
• Application fee ($50.00);
• Three letters of recommendation accompanying the Adler School
recommendation form; and
• Resume or curriculum vitae.
Application forms can be completed online or mailed to the Office of
Admissions. Students submitting U.S. or Canadian transcripts should have
official transcripts sent directly to the Office of Admissions. Other international
transcripts must be evaluated by a transcript evaluation service such as World
Education Service (www.wes.org) or Educational Credential Evaluators
(www.ece.org). Please contact the Office of Admissions for specific transcript
translation requirements.
