How do you know which clinical psychology faculty are accepting doctoral students?

Every name is read directly from that program's own admissions or faculty page, and the exact sentence it came from is quoted so you can verify it yourself. Names are never taken from search-engine results or third-party lists — in testing, search results under-reported the real numbers at every program checked.

Is this list of accepting faculty complete?

No — it's actively being built. There are roughly 250 APA-accredited clinical psychology doctoral programs; only the ones shown have been checked so far. A program not listed here means it hasn't been checked yet, not that no one there is accepting. Most programs post their accepting-faculty list between August and October for the following fall's admissions cycle.

Who's Accepting Doctoral Students — Fall 2027

Clinical psychology runs on the mentor model — if your person isn't taking a student, the application usually can't go anywhere. This tracks who's accepting for Fall 2027, alongside what each program actually asks for: the application deadline, whether the GRE is required, how many letters of recommendation you'll need, and anything else worth knowing before you apply.

462 faculty confirmed accepting across 88 programs · last updated 2026-09-23

Every name here was read from the program's own page on the date shown, and the sentence it came from is quoted so you can judge it yourself. We never take faculty names from search results — when we tested that, search under-reported UCLA as 3 faculty when the real page listed 7, and FIU as 6 when the page listed 11.

“Cohort admission” marks programs that admit to the incoming class and assign an advisor afterwards, rather than admitting into a named faculty member’s lab — so there is no accepting-faculty list to post. Three programs say this outright on their own pages. For the rest, mostly practitioner PsyDs, it is our inference from the degree type, because their pages do not state a model either way. Treat it as a steer, not a fact about that program, and confirm before you apply.

This directory is being built and is nowhere near complete. There are roughly 250 APA-accredited clinical doctoral programs; only the ones below have been checked. A program not listed here means we haven't got to it — not that nobody is accepting. Most programs post their lists between August and October, so check back. Always confirm on the program's own page before you apply.

No faculty-specific 'accepting students' list was found after checking the doctoral program page (adelphi.edu/psychology/doctoral/), the doctoral faculty directory (adelphi.edu/psychology/doctoral/faculty/), and the program FAQ page. The FAQ states the faculty research match is 'very important' and directs applicants to review individual faculty profiles and contact them directly rather than publishing a consolidated accepting/not-accepting list. December 1 deadline is stated on the FAQ page.

However the posted list (Elizabeth Capps, Wilson Brown, Stacy Ryan-Pettes, Norah Feeny, Arin Connell, Rita Obeid, Amy Przeworski) is explicitly for matriculation in the '2026-27 academic year' i.e. Fall 2026, not Fall 2027. The Fall 2027 list had not yet been posted as of this check, so treated as pending rather than attributing this roster to Fall 2027.

Found via FSU Psychology's faculty directory search tool, which has a 'Recruitment status (Fall 2027)' filter. List obtained by filtering Faculty Category = Clinical and Recruitment status = 'Recruiting a graduate student'. Corrected during verification: Page loads on psychology.fsu.edu and, with the URL's filter parameters applied (Clinical category + 'Recruiting a graduate student' for Fall 2027), returns exactly the 10 names claimed — so the underlying data is correct. However, the quoted sentence 'Recruitment status (Fall 2027): Recruiting a graduate student' does not appear verbatim anywhere on the page; it is a paraphrase combining a filter label and a filter option value, and individual faculty profiles do not display this status text next to their names.

Georgia State marks faculty Yes / Maybe / No. “Maybe” means undecided — contact the lab directly. UNRESOLVED: GSU's Yes/No/Maybe table covers the whole psychology department, not just Clinical — a later independent re-check found the department also lists a separate “Clinical concentration faculty” roster, and some names above (e.g. Aharoni, Barber, Offutt) may belong to other concentrations rather than Clinical. That re-check's own attempt to cross-reference the two pages was internally inconsistent, so this list has not been corrected pending a careful manual re-check against psychology.gsu.edu's clinical-concentration faculty roster.
“Faculty accepting students for Fall graduate admissions, marked Yes / Maybe / No by faculty member.”

- John Weisz
This is a whole-department (not clinical-specific) exclusion list; the department does not publish concentration-specific rosters. Mahzarin Banaji is social-psychology faculty, not part of the Clinical concentration, so she is omitted from notAccepting here; John Weisz is Clinical/child-clinical faculty and is retained. The page publishes only a negative (not-accepting) list; there is no positive list of who is definitely accepting, so 'accepting' is left empty per instructions. Page states the list 'is dynamic and subject to ongoing updates.'
“Only current departmental faculty may serve as primary advisors to students in the Psychology PhD program. Of these faculty members, the following will not be reviewing applications for Fall 2027 admission: Mahzarin Banaji, John Weisz. Please note that this list is dynamic and subject to ongoing updates.”

Joseph R. Scardapane's profile is individually annotated 'Not taking new students.' The page says 'forthcoming Fall Semester' rather than naming Fall 2027 explicitly; since Fall 2026 admissions have already concluded as of this check, this is read as applying to the Fall 2027 cycle, but that inference is not stated verbatim on the page.
“Unless otherwise noted below, all core faculty are accepting new graduate students for the forthcoming Fall Semester. Due to the volume of requests, faculty members are not always able to respond to inquiries from prospective applicants.”

Of the 9 clinical faculty listed, only Darren Bernal and Ezer Kang carry acceptance annotations, and both are tagged 'Fall 2026-27' rather than Fall 2027-28. As of this check the Fall 2026 cohort has already been decided, so this page appears not yet updated for the Fall 2027 admissions cycle (application deadline stated elsewhere on the page as December 1). Marked pending rather than posted because no Fall-2027-labeled status could be confirmed for any faculty member.

The program tags each person rather than publishing one list, and the tags are specific: nine are "Reviewing graduate applications for Fall 2027", four are "Not accepting graduate students for Fall 2027", and five say "Does not accept graduate applications" at all -- John Bates, Natasha Hansen, Amy Holtzworth-Munroe, Patrick Quinn and Emma Schiestl. Daniel Kennedy is reviewing applications but his tag adds "(Not recruiting Clinical Area applicants)", so he is counted as not accepting here despite the Fall 2027 tag; naming him as an opening would send somebody to a mentor who has said he is not taking them. Several of the others research cognition or development rather than psychopathology, but the department lists them on its Clinical Science faculty page and that is its call to make, not ours.

Angela Neal-Barnett and Yossef Ben-Porath are clinical faculty who are not on the list. The same table records whether each mentor considers a GRE score if one is submitted; all ten here do except that Mary Himmelstein, who is not clinical, does not.

Deadline: December 1st (every year). Page lists Cliff McKinney under the general 'currently accept students' heading but, unlike the other five names, gives him no explicit 'accepting applications for 2027' annotation, so his 2027 status is ambiguous and he is placed in maybe. Samuel Murphy is explicitly annotated 'potentially accepting applications for 2027' and is also placed in maybe. CORRECTED: verification had added Samuel Murphy, Ph.D., Cliff McKinney, Ph.D. to the accepting list while they remained in maybe, an internal contradiction. Kept in maybe only, per the original reasoning that their Fall 2027 status on the page is annotated ambiguously (no explicit 2027 tag, or only "potentially"). Corrected during verification: The quote matches, but the accepting list omits two faculty who are actually listed on the page: Cliff McKinney, Ph.D. and Samuel Murphy, Ph.D.

The program admissions page (montclair.edu/psychology/graduate-programs/admissions/) returned 404, and the main program pages only instruct applicants to name up to three faculty they'd like to work with and to contact faculty directly.

Nobody here is listed as accepting, because the program does not say anybody is. It names a group it is "likely" to make offers within, and calls each person a "potential mentor", which is an undecided list however many names are on it. They are grouped by research area rather than individually: veteran brain health, autism and communication, prenatal environment, risk and resilience, pain and opioid use, pediatric psychology, and outcomes after critical illness in children. Most are not yet on this tracker's faculty roster for the program, so those names have no profile page to link to. The application window is October 1 to December 1, 2026.
“As a mentor-match program with limited positions, we are likely to make admission offers within the following group of mentors and research areas”

Left pending on purpose. The document is headed 2026 and every line reads "for the 2026-2027 academic year", which does not say whether that means entry in Fall 2026 or applications reviewed during 2026-27 for Fall 2027 entry. Recording nine clinical names against the wrong cycle would be worse than saying nothing, so this waits until the wording is unambiguous.

According to information found in search results (not usable as a source per the hard rules), the current list of faculty reviewing applicants each cycle is presented only inside the gated online application (a dropdown selection), not on any publicly viewable page, so no faculty names can be verified from a page actually opened.

'AU27' unambiguously denotes the Autumn 2027 entering cohort, so treated as posted for the requested cycle. Jeremy Grant appears under the department's 'AU27 Admitting Faculty' Clinical-area list, but his own lab page (chill-lab.org/join-our-lab_1/ph-d-applicants) states verbatim: 'I have NOT YET DECIDED if I will accept a PhD student for the Ph.D. program in clinical psychology at The Ohio State University for the 2026-2027 application cycle (starting classes in Fall 2027),' directing applicants to check back by September 14, 2026 — so he is recorded as 'maybe' rather than 'accepting' based on his more specific, individually-authored statement. Corrected during verification: Page loads and belongs to OSU; quote 'AU27 Admitting Faculty' appears verbatim under the Clinical Psychology section. However, the accepting list is missing a name: the page also lists Jeremy Grant as AU27 admitting faculty for Clinical Psychology, who was omitted from the claim's list. Also note 'AU27' denotes Autumn 2027, which is equivalent to Fall 2027, so the semester/year itself is fine once the name list is corrected. DATA FLAG: Jeremy Grant appeared in more than one category (e.g. both accepting and maybe) in the raw sweep data — kept in the more cautious category and removed from 'accepting'.

The program tags each recruiting faculty member individually rather than publishing one list, and seven of the thirty-two faculty shown carry the Fall 2027 tag. The page keeps the previous two cycles' tags in its markup as comments, so reading it as plain text shows Fall 2025 and Fall 2026 tags that are not actually displayed. The program's own caveat: additional recruiting faculty may be added as late as November 1, and only applications naming a faculty member who is currently recruiting receive full consideration.

The admissions page itself still shows stale Fall 2025-cycle language ('For the proposed entrance date, select Fall 2025,' 'GRE...

It points to a faculty directory (psychology.ua.edu/faculty-and-staff-directory) with 'Accepting graduate students' and 'Specialty: Clinical Psychology' filters; I set both filters directly in the browser, but the filtered result set did not update (JS/AJAX filtering did not visibly apply), so I could not confirm specific clinical faculty names as accepting for Fall 2027.

UCI's clinical area program page does not publish a per-faculty accepting/not-accepting roster; applicants simply name preferred faculty in their Statement of Purpose and any department faculty may serve as advisor. A search-engine summary separately claimed the program 'paused admissions for 2026-2027,' but this could not be confirmed on the program's own page (which describes a normal December 1 application cycle with standard requirements), so that claim was not used.

The FAQ now asks "Which faculty members are accepting new graduate students FALL 2027?" and gives headings for M.A. Psychology, Ph.D. Geropsychology and Ph.D. Trauma Psychology, but publishes no names under any of them yet. The page's own caveat: faculty who are interested in taking new graduate students are not obligated to do so, and whether they can depends on funding. Held as pending until names appear.

This is the program's 'Core Faculty' roster (10 people) rather than a page titled 'accepting students.' Two individuals carry an explicit inline note, 'Not currently accepting new students' (Jeffrey A. Rings, Jim Grigsby); the other 8 core faculty carry no such note. Treated the unflagged 8 as accepting on the strength of the page's own exception-marking convention, since applicants are directed to pick a mentor from this exact list. Page also gives 2027 interview dates (Feb/Mar 2027), confirming this cycle targets Fall 2027 entry.
“Applicants are asked to identify one to three core faculty members (see "Core Faculty" list below) within the Clinical Health Psychology Program as a potential research mentor.”

The only accepting-faculty statement found is explicitly for 'Fall 26' entry, which is stale relative to the Fall 2027 target (that cohort has already been decided as of this check). The department's general admissions page states Fall 2027 applications open in September 2026 with a Dec 1 deadline for Clinical Psychology, but the Fall 2027 faculty list is not yet posted. A previously indexed page at psychology.uconn.edu/group/faculty/accepting-graduate-students/ (and its /page/2/, /page/3/ variants) now 404s, suggesting it is being rebuilt for the new cycle.
“Faculty likely to accept students for entering in Fall 27 include: Drs. Burke, Gray, Milan, Park and Treadwell.”

Only the Clinical Psychology sublist was used; the ASC and Developmental names were excluded as belonging to other concentrations. Separately, the page's funding figures are dated '2025-2026' and DU's admission-steps site labels the current posted cycle 'Clinical Psychology (Child Emphasis) - PHD - 2026-2027' with a final submission deadline of December 1, 2025 (i.e., for Fall 2026 matriculation, already decided). No 2027-2028 cycle page was found, so this accepting list appears to be left over from the completed Fall 2026 cycle rather than confirmed for Fall 2027; marked pending rather than posted.

The page is internally inconsistent: it labels the admissions cycle 'Fall 2026' but gives a deadline of November 15, 2026, which cannot logically apply to a Fall 2026 start (already past as of this check) and instead matches a Fall 2027 cycle whose 'Fall 2026' label appears to be an un-updated leftover from last year's text. Per the disambiguation rule, this was not resolved by guessing; left as pending. The 5 named faculty (Fairbairn, Hankin, Hunter, Rodriguez, Todd) are quoted above for reference but not asserted as the confirmed Fall 2027 list.
“The Clinical-Community Psychology Program at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign invites applicants for admission to our doctoral program for Fall 2026. ...

This three-tier (yes/maybe/no) list is explicitly for Fall 2026 entry, which is stale relative to the Fall 2027 target (that cohort is already decided as of this check); the page had not yet been updated for the new cycle at time of check. Quoted verbatim for reference but not reported as the current Fall 2027 status. Note: Ece Demir-Lira appears in the 'not recruiting' sentence but does not appear in the separate 'Faculty in clinical science' roster lower on the same page, an inconsistency in the source page itself.

Independently re-verified 2026-08-17.

Two others (Muehlenhard, Rempfer) say "2026-27 academic year" (a different, earlier cycle) and are omitted rather than marked not-accepting, since that statement does not speak to Fall 2027.

The apply-admission page lists 14 faculty recruiting department-wide across ALL program areas, not just Clinical (full list: Caroline Charpentier, Andrea Chronis-Tuscano, Lea Dougherty, Arianna Gard, Evan Hart, Derek Iwamoto, Atsushi Kikumoto, Edward Lemay, Elizabeth Redcay, Matthew Roesch, Alexander Shackman, Terrill Taylor, Fanita Tyrell, Henry Willis). I cross-referenced this against the Clinical (CLIN) area faculty roster at https://psyc.umd.edu/clin-faculty (Edward Bernat, Jack Blanchard, Colleen Byrne, Andrea Chisolm, Andrea Chronis-Tuscano, Andres De Los Reyes, Lea Dougherty, Jessica Magidson, Alexander Shackman) to isolate the clinical-area names. Excluded as non-clinical: Caroline Charpentier, Arianna Gard, Evan Hart, Derek Iwamoto, Atsushi Kikumoto, Edward Lemay, Elizabeth Redcay, Matthew Roesch, Terrill Taylor, Fanita Tyrell, Henry Willis. CORRECTED BACK: verification reverted this to the full 14-name department-wide list without confirming the excluded 11 actually belong to the Clinical concentration (the repair note admits this itself: "should be independently verified... before finalizing"). Restored to the clinical-only subset (cross-referenced against psyc.umd.edu/clin-faculty) that the original find-stage check had already isolated correctly. Corrected during verification: URL loads and quote matches, but the accepting list is incomplete — the page lists 14 faculty hoping to recruit for Fall 2027, not just 3. The claim omitted Caroline Charpentier, Arianna Gard, Evan Hart, Derek Iwamoto, Atsushi Kikumoto, Edward Lemay, Elizabeth Redcay, Matthew Roesch, Terrill Taylor, Fanita Tyrell, and Henry Willis. Note some of these may belong to non-clinical concentrations sharing the page; this should be independently verified against the Clinical program's specific faculty list before finalizing, but as given the list is missing many names.

(Roster listed this school's name with a garbled "Withdrawn, effective ..." prefix — confirmed this is stray text from an adjacent row in the source PDF, not an actual accreditation withdrawal; this program's accreditation is active.) The roster 'school' field carries an apparent parsing artifact ('Withdrawn, effective October 19, 2024...') prefixed onto the name; this program's APA accreditation does not appear to actually be withdrawn (an active, current faculty-advisees page for the Fall 2027 cycle exists), so this is very likely stray text from an adjacent row in the source roster. Substantively: this is a single department-wide 'Faculty Considering New Advisees' page covering multiple PhD areas (Clinical Science and Psychopathology Research (CSPR), Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Counseling Psychology, Personality/Individual Differences/Behavior Genetics, and Social Psychology) that share one faculty roster. I isolated the CSPR (clinical) faculty only. Excluded as non-clinical: Fletcher (Randy) Charles, Gordon Legge, Paul Schrater (Cognitive and Brain Sciences); Richard M. Lee (Counseling Psychology); Matt McGue (Personality/Individual Differences/Behavior Genetics); Eugene Borgida, Christopher Federico, Alexander Rothman, Jeffry Simpson (Social Psychology) -- all listed on the same page as NOT accepting new advisees, but not in the Clinical Science area. The page explicitly disambiguates the cycle: 'the applications cycle due in Fall [2026] to begin the PhD in Fall 2027' equivalent framing -- page states this is 'as of now' for the current cycle leading to Fall 2027 matriculation.
“The Psychology PhD program requires all applicants to identify a prospective advisor from the faculty listed as considering accepting advisees in the area of specialization they are applying to.”

The four names were read on 21 September 2026 from the program's "Ph.D. Admissions Information" page, which listed them as faculty mentors considering accepting students for Fall 2027. That page now returns 404 and the program page that replaced it carries no mentor list, so the link here goes to the live program page instead. There is no archived copy of what we read: the Wayback Machine's most recent capture is from July 2025 and describes the previous cycle, so it cannot stand in as a source. The names are kept because they were read directly and recently, but this is the one entry on the tracker you cannot currently check for yourself, and it should be treated as the weakest thing here until the program publishes a list again.

None publish a consolidated list of which faculty are accepting doctoral students for Fall 2027. The admission page explicitly states applicants should contact prospective faculty mentors directly to determine whether they are accepting students, and individual faculty (e.g., Dr. Brenna Renn) post their own status on their personal lab pages rather than a single program-wide list.

Those fourteen names are last cycle's and are not counted here. The December 1 deadline is stated without a year as a standing annual one -- "For best consideration your application must be submitted by December 1st" -- so for Fall 2027 entry that means December 1, 2026.

Because Dr. King's entry explicitly references the '2025 academic year' and no page-wide update date is shown, the page appears stale and its faculty statuses cannot be confirmed as reflecting the Fall 2027 cycle rather than a leftover prior-year snapshot.

Under the page's 'Clinical Psychology Faculty' heading (verified separately from the adjoining 'Behavioral Science Faculty' and 'Counseling Psychology Faculty' headings, whose names -- e.g. Dougherty, Guillot, Messman, Ryals; Hogge, Hook, Jones, Kaminski, Petrie, Wang, Yang -- were excluded as non-Clinical), the ten Clinical faculty each carry an individual tag: 'Accepting Graduate Students' for Michael Barnett, David Cicero, Ateka A. Contractor, Sharon Rae Jenkins, and Richard Rogers; 'Will not be accepting graduate students during this cycle' for Alisa Garner, Holly Levin-Aspenson, Craig Neumann, Jennifer Schwartz, and Samuel Spencer. The page never names the cycle (no 'Fall 2027' or academic-year range), and UNT only admits in fall for entry a year later with applications opening ~Sept 1/due Dec 1 -- so as of this check it is unclear whether 'this cycle' still reflects the outgoing Fall 2026 review or has already rolled over to Fall 2027. Left name arrays empty and marked pending rather than guess. [Re-checked 2026-08-17: same unlabeled tags found again (still no year/cycle stated, and still before UNT's ~Sept 1 application opening, so the original ambiguity is unresolved); a re-check agent classified Holly Levin-Aspenson as accepting, which conflicts with this note's reading of her as not-accepting — kept as pending pending clean re-verification.]

Each faculty profile carries its own accepting/not-accepting sentence, but the page labels the cohort "2027-2028 academic year" rather than an explicit "Fall 2027" — per the disambiguation rule and the verifier's own recommendation, not treated as confirmed for Fall 2027 without further clarification. For reference, the page's 2027-2028-labeled not-accepting names were: Christopher G. Beevers, April Highlander, David Schnyer, Nathan Cook, Justin Parent, Nicole Weiss, Ellen Flannery-Schroeder, Mark L. Robbins. Dr. Lopez-Vergara was named as accepting on the same page, same caveat applies. Corrected during verification: The URL loads and belongs to URI Psychology, and the quote appears verbatim, and the accepting/notAccepting split matches the page. However, the page states Lopez-Vergara (and by the page's framing, the cohort) is accepting for the '2027-2028 academic year' — an academic-year range, not an explicit 'Fall 2027' semester designation. Per the disambiguation rule, this should not be treated as confirmed for Fall 2027 without further clarification from the page.

USC publishes two pages with different confidence language about the same three faculty: the student-admissions-outcomes page says they "are interested in recruiting" (which this entry originally used), while USC's actual clinical-faculty roster page individually flags them only "*May be considering applications for Fall 2027*" and explicitly lists everyone else as not currently flagged (read here as not accepting, per that page's own convention). Updated to the more granular, more cautious roster page — moved from accepting to maybe, and added the notAccepting list the original source didn't provide.
“*May be considering applications for Fall 2027*”

The department's own pages (psychology.utk.edu, including the 'Clinical Psychology Faculty' and 'Preparation and Admission' pages that search results indicate would list recruiting status) could not be opened -- every attempt via browser navigation and via WebFetch failed with a TLS/certificate verification error ('unable to verify the first certificate') specific to that domain. Per policy, names appearing only in search-result summaries (not a page I actually opened) are not reported here, so this program is marked not_found rather than relying on the search snippet.

Utah publishes per-faculty 'Opportunities for Students' statements on each professor's own page rather than one central list. The clinical-focus faculty roster is on https://psych.utah.edu/graduate/clinical.php (Asnaani, K. Baucom, B. Baucom, Euler, Himle, Kerig, Palmer, T.W. Smith, Suchy, Ware, P. Williams). Checked Alyssa Palmer's and Katherine J.W. Baucom's individual pages directly; both currently state they are reviewing applications 'for a start in Fall 2026' -- i.e., last cycle's stale statement, not yet updated for Fall 2027. (Note: developmental/health psychologist Bruce Ellis's own page explicitly says 'accepting new graduate students for the Fall 2027,' but he is not listed on the Clinical program's own faculty roster page, so per the cross-program filtering rule he is excluded here.) Because the clinical-specific faculty pages checked have not been updated past Fall 2026, the Fall 2027 list is not yet available.

UW's faculty directory covers all 129 department faculty across 7 advising areas (Adult Clinical, Child Clinical, Cognition and Perception, Developmental, Neural Systems and Behavior, Quantitative Psychology, Social and Personality). Filtered to only Adult Clinical (12 faculty) and Child Clinical (8 faculty) to isolate the Clinical Psychology PhD program. The table itself has no 'Fall 2027' label, but the Prospective Students page confirms the current live cycle is Autumn 2027 admissions, so these live accepting statuses were read as pertaining to that cycle. Emeritus/N-A faculty (Corey Fagan, Marsha Linehan, Ronald Smith, Katherine Comtois, Lynn Fainsilber Katz, Wendy Stone) excluded as not applicable.

This is a program-wide closure, not a faculty-specific split, so both accepting and notAccepting are empty by design. Old Dominion University (a Consortium co-sponsor) is separately pursuing a new, independent 'ODU Clinical PhD' program with its own APA accreditation site visit scheduled for Fall 2026 and possible Accreditation on Contingency in Spring 2027 -- but that is a distinct, not-yet-accredited successor program, not the roster's 'Virginia Consortium Program in Clinical Psychology' entry, so it was not reported here. Confirmed independently on the Consortium's own site (sci.odu.edu/vcpcp), which now tells visitors seeking a Clinical PhD to look at ODU's program instead.

Annalise Rahman-Filipiak's entry on the source page carries the parenthetical '(starting fall 2026)', whose exact meaning (e.g., her faculty appointment start date vs. a student start date) is not disambiguated by the page; she is still included under accepting because the page places her among faculty 'open to recruiting new graduate students.' Ty Partridge is described separately as faculty from another department area who is 'sometimes open to mentoring the research of graduate students in the clinical psychology program' (serving alongside a clinical-area co-advisor), so he was placed in 'maybe' rather than 'accepting' to reflect that conditional, secondary-mentor framing.

Deadline: December 1, 2026GRE: optional3 references
- Minimum GPA 3.0

- History and Systems of Psychology course (B- or better)

Checked the Clinical PhD program page, curriculum page, graduate application page, and faculty/staff contact page on wichita.edu. None post a list of which specific faculty are/aren't accepting doctoral students for Fall 2027 -- applicants are only told to indicate a preferred faculty member. (Search snippets circulated a name list attributed to 'Fall 2026,' but that text could not be located on any Wichita State-hosted page I opened, so per the rules it is not reported.) Deadline (Dec 1) confirmed directly on the program page.
“The following faculty within the clinical program are open to taking new students for the Fall of 2026: Renee Patrick, Brendan Clark, Nabiha Chaudhary, Samantha Gregus Slade, and Thomas Skinner.”

Accepting students
- Arielle Baskin-Sommers

The department publishes one table for all of psychology with a yes, no or maybe against each name, for "the applications cycle due in Fall 2026 to begin the Ph.D. in Fall 2027". The three counted here are the clinical faculty marked yes; Tyrone Cannon, Dylan Gee and Shirley Wang are marked no, with Wang available as a secondary advisor. Yale's table spells Brenden Tervo-Clemmens as "tervo-clemmons"; the spelling here is the one his own work carries.
“Are you planning on applying to our Ph.D. graduate program? If so, please make sure the faculty member you are applying to work with is considering applications this year. Here is our list of faculty members and whether they are considering applications for new grad students as of now (for the applications cycle due in Fall 2026 to begin the Ph.D. in Fall 2027).”
