Application Information
Some important things to remember about applying to our graduate program:
The application deadline is always December 1st of any given year for entrance the following fall.
Students are admitted once a year only in the fall semester.
In addition to applying to the Graduate School, applicants should submit a copy of all application materials directly to the department via email by Dec 1, 2011.
This includes application forms, transcripts (a photocopy is acceptable), official GRE scores (a photocopy is fine for this as well), and statement of professional goals. Please request that the individuals who will be submitting your letter of recommendation send a signed copy of their letter to Ms. Adams via email as well. *Note: All application materials must be submitted to the Graduate School per their requirements. We are asking that you submit a separate electronic copy to the department in order to expedite the application review process.
- Save the application form to your computer
If you fill out the form directly from clicking on that link, it will not save properly. Instead, save it to your computer by right clicking application form and selecting "Save As..." then open it from your computer.

While the University of Georgia Graduate School requires a minimum GRE score of 1000 (verbal + quantitative) and a minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0 (or 3.5 from a previous graduate program) for admission, successful applicants to the Department of Child and Family Development typically have significantly higher GRE scores and GPAs. GRE score and GPAs are important pieces of data in the applicant review process and are assessed in context with other application materials such as letters of reference, statement of goals, and writing samples.
Admission to our graduate program is highly competitive. While the number of applications and students admitted varies a bit from year to year, we typically accept approximately 20% of students who apply for admission.
Applicants who receive a favorable review in the application process will be invited to come to campus for an interview. For Fall 2012 applicants the campus visit will take place on March 2, 2012. Notification will be sent to these applicants 3-4 weeks prior to the date of this campus visit.
