Individuals interested in applying to one of the three doctoral programs (Clinical, Developmental, or Social) will be asked to submit a completed online application form along with a $75 non-refundable application fee. This completed application should include:


• One official transcript from each institution attended
• Three letters of recommendation

Clark University’s Ph.D. programs only accept graduate students who are able to pursue graduate study on a full-time basis during the day and do not accept students seeking only to complete the masters. All applicants must have a bachelor's degree (or equivalent) by the commencement of doctoral studies.
