M.A. In Psychology & Clinical Psychology Admissions
Antioch University Los Angeles offers two different graduate psychology degrees, the MA in Clinical Psychology and the individualized MA in Psychology.
Both degree programs seek individuals who are idealistic, intelligent, empathic, and excited by the challenges of working with people different from themselves. The Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology is designed for individuals interested in developing as marriage and family therapists so they can promote the growth of individuals, children, and/or families.
New students are admitted every quarter for Antioch University's MA in Psychology and Clinical Psychology programs at our main campus. Our quarters last for ten weeks and begin in Fall (October), Winter (January), Spring (April), and Summer (July). Our Santa Clarita and Harbor City locations admit new students for the Fall quarter only.
To be considered for admission to the MA in Psychology and Clinical Psychology programs, you must submit the following materials to the Admissions Office.
- The Online Application. Paper application available upon request.
- The $60 non-refundable Application Fee. Payment may be made in the form of a credit card, check or money order made payable to Antioch University.
- The Admissions Dialogue Essay and Autobiography Essay. These admission essays will help us get to know you as an individual, as well as evaluate your writing ability and your capacity to reflect insight-fully on your personal experience.
- All official transcripts. Request one copy of official transcripts to be sent directly to the Admissions Office at Antioch University Los Angeles from all other previously attended institutions of higher education, including the institution from which you received your accredited bachelor's degree. A student copy of a transcript may be submitted with your application, but you cannot be fully admitted until the official transcript is received.
- Two Recommendation Forms. Select at least two people to complete recommendation forms on your behalf. Recommendation Forms should be sent directly to the Admissions Office by individuals who can comment on your qualifications for the program. Additional Recommendation Forms may enhance the quality of your application.
All application materials submitted become part of an applicant's file and cannot be returned.
The Admissions Interview - After we receive your application materials, we will contact you to make an appointment for a group interview. This interview is an opportunity for you to present your goals and qualifications and to ask questions about Antioch University's program.
When you are ready to start the application process, simply click on the "Apply Online" button along the left hand side of your screen. You can save your application and come back to it at any time, but remember that your application cannot be processed until all items are complete and you have officially submitted the online form.
Apply for financial aid. If you are interested in obtaining financial aid, please visit the Financial Aid section of our website and review the information provided. We encourage you to begin the financial aid application process immediately. Please do not wait until you are admitted to fill out the financial aid application – the process takes time so Antioch University recommends beginning the process when you first apply.
If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid.
