applicants moving to the next level of evaluation will
be invited to participate in the interview process, which
includes both a group interview and a personal interview
with School of Psychology and Counseling faculty. Participation
in this interview process is expected; interviewed applicants
will bear the expenses associated with travel to the Virginia
Beach campus. It is expected that the candidate will be
willing to discuss personal history within the interview
process.
Our preference is to have the in-person interview. In
rare instances where circumstances do not permit, an alternative
method such as telephone will be considered.
Applicants invited to the interview should keep in mind
that an interview does not assure admission. The School
of Psychology and Counseling reserves the right to determine
at its sole discretion whether a candidate in suitable
for admission to the Ph.D. program.
