Admissions
Currently, the school program accepts approximately 1 to 4 students for admission
each year. Students are notified of admission in the spring semester and begin their
study in the following Fall semester. The School Admissions Committee considers six
main dimensions when evaluating applicants:
- Undergraduate/graduate grade point average
- GRE scores
- Personal statement
- Letters of recommendation
- Match with program goals
- Research interests and experience
Applicants with training in psychology and strong interests in the research and practice
of school psychology should apply. In addition, students from diverse backgrounds
and students with disabilities are encouraged to apply. The University of Memphis
will promote and ensure equal opportunity for all persons without regard to race,
color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, disability status, age
or status as a qualified veteran with a disability or veteran of the Vietnam era.
Our affirmative action office website is www.memphis.edu/affirmact/. There is a comprehensive program of services and academic accommodations designed
to provide access and opportunity is available to qualified students with disabilities
through Student Disability Services, www.memphis.edu/sds/.

Yearly Program Costs
All school psychology doctoral students in good standing receive a minimum of 4 years
of assistantship support. These assistantships require approximately 20 hours of
work a week, which may involve research, clinical settings, teaching, or departmental
service.
Students without Master’s Degrees currently receive $12,000 annually for their assistantship,
and those with Master’s Degrees receive $13,000 annually. In addition, students supported
by assistantships currently have their tuition waived (both in-state and out-of-state
tuition). Thus, tuition costs are covered for students in good standing who are supported
on our assistantship program. For students who remain in the program beyond their
supported years, tuition averages $4,806 per semester.
In addition to assistantships and tuition waivers, information regarding a variety
of fellowships and awards are available. Further information about these opportunities
is available here.
