Graduate Application

Application process

The School admits students for graduate studies once a year, the application deadline is December 1st of each year. Admitted graduate students start the program the subsequent fall semester. Note: Applications for the Animal Behavior Program are not being taken at this time. All applications should be to the PhD program only as we do not offer a terminal Master’s degree in Psychology. Applications are only accepted for the Fall semester. We do not accept new PhD students in the Spring.

Apply on-line

Applications to Georgia Tech are accepted online through the office of Graduate Studies & Admissions. For questions regarding admissions process, email psych@gatech.edu. Please note that applications are only taken via the online link. No paper applications are available.
