The APUG Internal Website, open only to Applied Psychology majors, guides you through the two-stage application process.

Becoming a Graduate Student

Your Third and Fourth Year

As you complete each required step of the process, you’ll work with your undergraduate advisor to understand the dual degree requirements and to register for appropriate graduate courses. 

Your Fifth Year

Once you enter your fifth year of study (your first as a graduate student), you will need to meet with your graduate advisor to complete the transition. You will then complete the remaining credits for your master’s degree.

Important Information about Financial Aid

Please note that financial aid at the graduate level is different than at the undergraduate level and you may not receive the same aid. In fact, some types of aid available to undergraduate students are not available once you become a graduate student, and you will be considered for graduate scholarships at this time. Graduate scholarships are not guaranteed.

To be considered for any type of financial aid (including scholarships), you must submit FAFSA renewal between November 1 and March 1 of your senior year. When submitting the form, be sure to indicate your new status as a graduate student.
