NOTE: Do NOT wait for grades/degrees to be posted on your transcript. If you are offered admission you will provide final transcripts at that time.

*Electronic Transcripts:  The University of Denver is now accepting electronic transcripts ONLY from these third-party agencies: Army/American Council on Education Registry Transcript System (AARTS), Docufide/Parchment, National Student Clearinghouse, and Scrip-Safe.  All other transcripts must be sent in via mail to the address above.  Electronic transcripts can be sent directly to gradinfo@du.edu.

  • Paid or Volunteer Experience: Having relative paid or volunteer experiences (i.e. coaching, playing sports, performance enhancement experience, etc.) is an asset. Please detail your experience in your resume/curriculum vita.

In reviewing applications, we are concerned with the quality of the whole application, evidence of academic ability, quality of work done in the human service role, how referees view the applicants potential to become a professional psychologist, and how the applicant presents him or herself in answering application questions. Our aim is to enroll people who have an appreciation of psychology as a scientifically based discipline and sufficient emotional and social maturity to function effectively in applied professional work. Even though we do not require an undergraduate major in psychology, we expect applicants to have knowledge of and curiosity about psychological theory and issues.
