Applicants to the PsyD in Clinical Psychology must have earned an undergraduate degree from a regionally accredited institution.

Standardized tests such as the GRE, are not required for admission, with the exception of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) for international student applicants whose native language is not English. Qualified applicants should be high achieving students with an undergraduate degree in psychology, or substantial coursework in psychology, work experience in the field or a master’s degree in another discipline, with an expected minimum 3.2 grade-point average (or with outstanding narrative evaluations for those earning the master's degree at Antioch University or other institutions that do not award grades). In exceptional circumstances applicants with a lower GPA will be considered if they have special aptitudes in other areas.
