Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology - Behavioral and Brain Sciences

Entry requirements for 喬治亞大學

To be admitted to the program, an applicant must be endorsed by a faculty member (likely to become the student?s Major Professor), and then approved by the faculty of the Behavioral and Brain Sciences Program, the Department of Psychology, and finally the Graduate School. Students who are interested in the work of a specific faculty member are encouraged to send an introduction email. Selection is based on the match between a student?s research interest and that of the potential Major Professor. Criteria considered for admission include previous research experience, letters of recommendation, prior academic record, and GRE scores. A prospective graduate student visit day is held one time per year by invitation.

Students who have Bachelor?s Degrees serve as TAs for an instructor. Students with Mater?s Degrees may teach their own classes. More limited opportunities for Research Assistantships (RAs) are available, which are funded by a faculty member?s grant, or via competitive University-wide Fellowships awarded through the Graduate School.
