Our program follows the mentor model and not all faculty members accept students every year. For Fall 2009 admission, the following faculty will be accepting student applications: David Arnold, Michael Constantino, Hal Grotevant, Rebecca Ready, David Scherer, and Susan Whitbourne.
Please be sure to fill out a Faculty Research Interests Form indicating who you would like to receive your application.
Applications for our Post-Doctoral Respecialization Program are accepted on a rolling basis, but are reviewed beginning in January of each year.
The University of Massachusetts, Amherst clinical psychology program uses a mentorship model for the education of students. This means in practice that individual faculty members select students to work with them. The criteria used for selection depend to a large extent on the compatibility of research interests between student and faculty member. Therefore, in applying for admission to the Clinical Psychology Program, you must indicate the faculty with whom you share research interests. These faculty are the ones who will review your application most carefully. Even if your research interests are not fully formed (and we realize that this is the case for most students), and even if your research interests are likely to change as you develop your career, we still ask you to rank order two faculty who might be your best match. Before applying, please check the Faculty Research Interests Form to see which faculty are accepting students for the current year. You may also find it useful to review our Admissions Statistics, our Frequently Asked Questions page, and our listing of general faculty research areas. Of course, you should feel free to contact faculty members you might be interested in working with directly with questions. Graduate students generally receive funding from a variety of sources, which covers some living expenses and tuition fees. However, you can also learn more about UMass tuition costs and fees.
Applications for students beginning Fall of 2009 will be accepted until December 1, 2008.
