Decisions for admittance into the graduate program are based upon a comprehensive system, which includes multiple measures to assess the personal characteristics, communications and basic skills proficiency of candidates. This system includes (a) a standardized skills proficiency test (the MAT or GRE), (b) faculty recommendation, (c) statement of intent, (d) record of competence and effectiveness in academic and/or professional work, and (e) graduation from a regionally accredited college or university with a minimum of a B average.
All students attend an interview which will examine the student's career goals, personal readiness for conducting therapy, multicultural sensitivity and awareness, and personal judgment and decision-making skills.
