General Information

To re-emphasize the importance of timely application materials, transcripts and application may take up to three to four weeks to reach the Department. Therefore, copies of materials sent to Graduate Studies by December 15, or March 15 (2009 only) for priority status admittance should also be forwarded to the CYAF Department office. A hard copy of the forms submitted online should also be sent to the Department Office.

When a student seeks admission for the comprehensive Ph.D. and a Masters-level specialization in MFT, Youth Development, Family Financial Planning or Family Science Education, the following procedure will be followed:

  1. The student‘s file will first be reviewed by the respective certificate program faculty for acceptance into the specialization program.
  2. If the student is accepted for the specialization program, specialization program faculty will vote to forward or vote not to forward the file to the graduate faculty for consideration into the comprehensive Ph.D. at that time.
  3. If forwarded to the graduate faculty, the faculty will vote to accept or not accept the student into the comprehensive Ph.D. program.

If the faculty votes not to accept at that time, the student may reapply to the Ph.D. Track 2 program. Students pursuing an MFT and comprehensive Ph.D. must apply at the January 15 application date, when MFT applications are due. Qualified applicants will be invited to participate in competitive MFT interviews.
