M.A. in Clinical Psychology:
Marriage and Family Therapy

Prerequisites

In order to be admitted into the program, students must:

• Hold a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited university or college (or an equivalent degree from a college or university in another country) with a minimum 3.0 grade-point average on a 4.0 scale. At the discretion of the university, a higher professional degree such as an MD or DC may be accepted as a substitute for the bachelor's degree. A limited number of applicants with a grade-point average between 2.7 and 2.99 may be admitted provisionally, at the department's discretion, by providing adequate supportive documentation including a statement of explanation and/or 12 units of upper-division, post-B.A. coursework with grades of B or better (extension courses excluded).
• Satisfy two undergraduate prerequisites for full admission into the master's degree program. These courses are 1) Abnormal Psychology, and 2) Human Growth and Development or General Psychology, both of which must have been taken within the previous eight years and completed with a grade of B or better.
• International applicants whose first language is not English must submit a TOEFL score of 600 minimum and are also encouraged to submit results of the Test of Written English (TWE) and the Test of Spoken English (TSE). Since written and verbal English language skills are crucial to the education, training, and practice of psychology, further testing for spoken and written English will be required for all international students upon entrance to the program or as deemed necessary at any point in the program. Students must meet standards appropriate to graduate-level study or they will be required to participate in concurrent speaking and/or writing classes in the School of Intensive English at APU until they achieve the required language skills. Students who do not meet language and writing standards are subject to dismissal from the program.
• Complete department application procedures.
