Counseling Psychology

Degree programs (MA and Ed.S) --Admissions decisions are based on a holistic assessment of an applicant's potential to be a competent, ethical, and compassionate practitioner. GPAs and GRE scores, which can be indicators of ability to perform academic work, are required as part of the application; however, they are considered in conjunction with the personal essay, information on relevant service and life experience, letters of reference, and, in some cases, interviews.
