2006-2007 Graduate Handbook

Welcome

Welcome to the child psychology program at the University of Minnesota! This handbook brings together general and specific information of use to graduate students in child psychology.

The handbook is designed to answer most questions about the formal aspects of the institute and its instructional program. Students are strongly urged to keep it for immediate and future reference, rather than attempting to assimilate all the information at one time. Most of the information in this handbook deals with the general Ph.D. program in Child Psychology. Students enrolled in joint programs (School Psychology, Developmental Psychology and Clinical Science) must also be guided by the information provided by their joint program.

According to the Harvard Rule, students are held to academic requirements in place when they enter the ICD Ph.D. program. This handbook is therefore of particular relevance to students entering the institute fall 2006. If changes in requirements are enacted during a student's tenure, he or she has the option to choose between the old and the revised with one notable exception; students in the DPCS program are governed by the policies and procedures related to that program as written in the most current handbook for the clinical program.

If anything is unclear or if you have other questions do not hesitate to ask me, another faculty member, Danielle Bordeleau, or an advanced graduate student.

Sincerely,

Michael Maratsos
Director of Graduate Studies
