The program typically enrolls 10-12 students each fall with a total of approximately 30 students across the three-year program.

Candidates are expected to have a doctoral degree from an APA-accredited or NASP-approved program, although ABD candidates will be considered. Other requirements include demonstrated evidence of teaching excellence at the college/university level and a commitment to research and scholarly work.
