The transfer of credits into the program is not permitted. However, students have the option of earning Credit by Examination for up to 6 credits (2 courses) by earning a passing grade on an exam(s) administered for Social Psychology, Lifespan Development and/or Psychopathology. This does not impact students’ time to completion. However, it reduces the total number of credits required as well as total program tuition.

The School of Professional and Applied Psychology provides opportunities for students to earn money for their educational expenses through Graduate Assistant (GA) and Federal Work Study positions. Students may apply for GA positions through the School of Professional and Applied Psychology. Work Study positions are need-based, self-help federally funded financial aid packages for which students apply through the Financial Aid Office. Students must complete the FAFSA each year to qualify for federal work study. On average, doctoral students in these positions work 10-15 hours per week at $18/hour.
