If you are thinking about pursuing a graduate degree in psychology, there are many factors to consider! These include the area of psychology (e.g., Clinical, Developmental, Counseling, Neuropsychology, Social, Industrial-Organizational, School, or Forensic, just to name a few!), the type of degree (e.g., Master's versus Ph.D. or Psy.D.), career options based on each type of degree, the professional reputation of each graduate program, application requirements and admission trends, the best types of experiences to be getting as an undergraduate, the best people to ask to write your letters of recommendation, how to prepare adequately for the application process, and the list goes on! Dr. Kevin McGann is an advisor in the Office of Undergraduate Studies who is available to all psychology majors who are in need of guidance with the graduate school application process. He is also available to review and provide feedback on elements of your application package, such as your resume and personal statement.
