Application Instructions for Graduate Studies in Social Psychology | |||||||||||
| Admissions to enter our program in Fall, 2012 are closed. The next deadline, for Fall, 2013, will be December 15th, 2012. Students are admitted only in Fall semesters.
It is strongly recommended that you apply using the electronic format rather than the entirely-paper version. The application process is competitive: The admissions committee considers applicants’ official GRE scores (Verbal,Quantitative, Analytical, advanced test in psychology), official transcripts, your personal letter of application (2-4 pages; your statement should discuss which faculty member or members you would most like to work and why), letters of recommendation, and any additional materials you wish to include (e.g., vita, research papers, journal articles, etc.). The social psychology program does not ordinarily admit students without also providing support in the form of graduate assistantships or fellowships. Because the program has an NIMH-funded training grant, very well-qualified new students who plan to focus their graduate careers on social processes and AIDS are sometimes offered admission as trainees supported by this grant; other students enter through a competitive process in their second year (for more information, contact the director of the program, Prof. Seth C. Kalichman). If you are interested in being supported by this grant, please so indicate in your personal statement, giving a rationale to support your interest. It is recommended that prospective applicants contact present faculty members in order to obtain more information (e.g., to inquire whether that faculty member is seeking new students for the following fall.). In some cases, faculty members have indicated whether they wish to admit students on their individual webpages on this website. The University of Connecticut encourages applications from under-represented groups, including minorities, women, and people with disabilities. Application Forms. You can apply on-line here (preferred) or download an application here.
