Application Information for Fall 2009
The Ph.D.
Program in Clinical-Community Psychology with an Indigenous and Rural Emphasis
desires to attract mature, committed, and responsible individuals of diverse
personal, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds who are interested in both clinical
and community research and practice with an indigenous and rural emphasis in
Alaska.
The program functions on a cohort model and admits eight students per year. It is anticipated that half of the cohort will reside and do the bulk of their graduate studies in Fairbanks; the other half of the cohort will reside in Anchorage. All courses will be co-taught across campuses via video-conference. Students are strongly encouraged to be full-time students (i.e., not engage in other full-time gainful employment or other studies) throughout their attendance in the Ph.D. Program in Clinical-Community Psychology with an Indigenous and Rural Emphasis. Admissions to the program occur only once yearly, specifically for the Fall Semester.
To identify candidates, the Ph.D. faculty has designed a screening and selection process intended to evaluate all applicants in a manner that is comprehensive, fair, and objective. All candidates who are finalists for admission are required to attend an in-person interview. Fairbanks interviews will take place March 4, 2009. Anchorage interviews will take place March 6, 2009. The interview process is an opportunity for you to learn about our program as well as for us to learn about you. This interview is an essential part of the application process; thus, we will not be able to conduct telephone interviews or further consider applicants who choose not to appear for interviews. Alternate arrangements may be made under exceptional circumstances only.
The deadline for RECEIPT of applications is February 1, 2009. Please note that any applications received after this date will not be considered under any circumstances.
Final decisions regarding admissions to the Ph.D. Program in Clinical-Community Psychology with an Indigenous and Rural Emphasis will be completed by April 1, 2009, as recommended and adopted by the Council of University Directors Clinical Psychology.
