ADMISSION TO THE MAJOR IN PSYCHOLOGY APPLICATION FORM

Applications for admission to the major may be submitted at three times during the academic year: the first two weeks of September (between September 1 and September 15), the first two weeks of February (between February 1 and February 15) and the first two weeks of June (between June 1 and June 15). In order to apply for a major in Psychology, you must submit the application.

The application form asks for your name, KUID number (7digits), and e-mail address. It also asks a number of questions pertaining to whether you have met the necessary requirements for applying for admission to the major at this time. Please be sure to complete the entire form before submitting it for review.

The following are qualifications for applying for admission to the major.

For students first entering KU in the Fall 2006 or thereafter, PSYC 102 is required in addition to the following requirements…

For students first entering KU in the Summer 2006 or prior, the qualifications for applying for admission to the major are as follows:

1. Must have completed at least 30 semester hours of college course work.
2. Must have completed at least one semester (at least 9 hours) of courses at KU.
3. Must have an overall GPA of at least 2.00.
4. Must have completed PSYC 104, either PSYC 300 or one of the research courses (310, 618, 620, 622, 624), and at least one but not more than three of the psychology core courses (318, 333, 350, 360, 370, 380), or their equivalents.
5. Must have a GPA of 2.50 based on grades in PSYC 104, PSYC 300 or PSYC 310, 628, 620, 622, 624, and all of the psychology core courses (318, 333, 350, 360, 370, 380) completed at the time of applying. If a student has taken both PSYC 300 and a research course (310, 618, 620, 622, 624), both will be computed in the GPA.

If an applicant meets these qualifications, he or she is admitted to the major. If there are special issues, members of the Undergraduate Advisory Committee consider the special circumstances and render a decision.

There is a space on the application form for you to present other matters you would like the committee to consider in evaluating your application. If, for example, you wish the committee to take into account the progress you feel you have made over the course of you education, or you feel the need to explain a particularly poor grade or set of grades, or you wish to make the committee aware of certain special circumstances that apply to you, then this is the place on the application form for you to do so. The Department of Psychology is committed to promoting cultural diversity in its programs, and guided by principles of affirmative action in making its decisions.
