A team of Rising Scholars from the Kent State University Columbiana County campuses earned a spot in the finals of the NASA HUNCH culinary competition at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. The scholars will compete with teams from around the country on April 17 to determine if their culinary creation will be a future meal selection for astronauts aboard the International Space Station. The students qualified for the trip to Texas following a preliminary competition in February, at which they presented their seafood rice dish to a panel of judges following months of research and testing....
What kind of field experience are students exposed to during the program?
Kent State offers a carefully planned sequence of experiential learning opportunities for their students. Each year, the level of field work increases in hands-on opportunities. The first year, students are enrolled in Practicum I, which requires a minimum of 25 hours of exposure to different schools each semester.
How long after the interview are admission decisions made? How will I be notified?
Applicants are typically notified about the admission decision within 1-2 weeks following the interview. Applicants who are admitted will receive a detailed letter from the Program Coordinator. In order to accept admission, this letter must be signed and dated, and returned to the Program Coordinator by a designated date.
I live out of state and it is difficult for me to travel to Ohio for the interview. Can a telephone interview be arranged?
We encourage applicants to come to campus for an interview, whenever possible. However, online/virtual interviews can be arranged for students unable to make an on-campus interview. When you are contacted about the on-campus interview, request an online/virtual interview and this will be arranged for you.
How is the faculty interview arranged?
Following the application deadline (December 15, June 15, or October 15), the faculty admission committee reviews complete applications and invites all applicants who are not eliminated due to low performance indicators for an interview with faculty. These interviews are arranged by the Program Coordinator and typically involve a 30 minute interview with the program faculty following a 30 minute interview with current school psychology students.
Do I need to take the GRE to apply?
The School Psychology program no longer requires applicants to take the GRE.
It has been a number of years since I attended my undergraduate program, and I’m not sure my professors would remember me. May I request letters of reference from my employers?
Letters of reference may be requested from any individuals who can comment about your potential for success in graduate study. If your work setting is primarily in an applied setting, consider whether or not your employer can provide such an assessment of your potential.
I have been working for several years and don’t have a sample of written work. How should I handle this for my application? Can I submit technical reports I have prepared as part of my job?
This part of the application is designed to provide a sample of your professional/scholarly writing. The writing sample you submit as part of your application should focus on a topic related to the education, treatment, and/or development of school-aged children.
