another by submitting the appropriate application forms. Students must satisfy
admission requirements for the degree or certificate program at the time of
application to the new program. Acceptance into and/or successful completion
of one degree or certificate program neither constitutes nor guarantees
admission to another program.
Master’s degree students, who wish to apply to the Psy.D. program, must
have completed at least twenty-four (24) credit hours of graded course work
and be actively engaged in a practicum before applying. Students are required
to submit a Psy.D. application, three letters of recommendation from Adler
School faculty and practicum supervisors with at least one from their academic
advisor and one from their current program director, a 500-word personal
statement, and an official Adler School transcript. The application deadlines for
Psy.D. applicants apply to Adler School Master’s students, who are applying for
the Psy.D. program. Once all materials are received, the Admissions Committee
will review the application and determine whether the applicant will be
scheduled for an interview with doctoral core faculty as the final stage of the
application process. Students from M.A. programs who have been accepted to
the doctoral program must complete all requirements for their M.A. degree no
later than one year after acceptance.
Readmission
Applicants, who have been accepted for admission but fail to matriculate
within one year or who were previously enrolled but withdrew from their degree
program or were administratively withdrawn, must wait one year to submit a
new application for admission and will be evaluated according to current
admission requirements. If readmitted, applicants/students will be subject to
program requirements in effect at the time of the new application. This applies
to students who seek to return to the School following an approved leave of
absence, withdrawal in good standing, or other absence.
Transfer Credit
Students accepted for admission may be granted transfer credit for
graduate level courses previously taken at another accredited institution. A
maximum of twelve (12) credit hours may be transferred into a M.A. program
and a maximum of twenty-four (24) credit hours may be transferred into the
Psy.D. program.
Graduate courses from regionally accredited institutions that are equivalent
to courses required in the students’ degree program at Adler School and in
which students have earned grades of “B” or better may be considered for
transfer credit. Electives and clinical or community service training credits are
