What happens after I apply to the EdS program?
The EdS program utilizes a rolling admissions policy, so applications will be considered
throughout the year as they are received. Students will be accepted into the program
until the desired class size is achieved, therefore it is recommended for candidates
to submit applications early. Classes begin in the fall term (early August).
The Admissions Committee screens applications, invites some applicants for an interview,
evaluates the applicants and selects the new students. Following completion of the
admissions process, each applicant is notified of the Admissions Committee's decision
in writing, including any conditions that must be satisfied prior to or following
enrollment.
Interviews for this program will be offered both virtually and in-person for the 2023-2024
application cycle.
As an applicant to PCOM's School Psychology program, you are responsible for ensuring
that all admissions materials are completed accurately and submitted in a timely manner.
Criminal background check requirement
The College requires a criminal background check for all program applicants and enrolled
students. The PCOM Office of Admissions will facilitate a criminal background check
prior to matriculation processed by a PCOM vendor of choice. Subsequent criminal background
checks can occur during enrollment, including but not limited to, when the student
is conducting internships, clerkships, clinical coursework, or other types of coursework
that occur off campus. Any student charged, convicted of, or who pleads guilty or
no contest to a misdemeanor or felony crime after the date of the original application
submission is required to notify the dean of the program in writing within 10 business
days of the occurrence. This communication should be sent by certified mail to the
dean at the address on the acceptance letter.
Technical standards
Prior to enrollment, all candidates are required to complete the College's Technical Standards for Admission and Matriculation (PDF).
