Graduate Admissions

Admission to the Recovery of Function graduate training program is competitive. Students admitted to the program typically have GRE (Verbal + Quantitative) scores of 1200 or above, and GPAs of 3.50 or higher. However, other factors such as research experience and the socioeconomic status of your family of origin will be considered when evaluating your application. The Recovery of Function program strongly encourages applications from women and under-represented minority groups. The program does not accept applications from individuals seeking a terminal master's degree.
