Students may enter this program by applying to the Department of Educational Psychology and Learning Systems.

Minimum criteria for acceptance to the program are the same as for the Department of Educational Psychology and Learning Systems:

• A combined GRE score of at least 1000 (on the verbal and quantitative sections)
• A MINIMUM score of 400 each on the verbal and quantitative sections of the GRE
• A cumulative G.P.A. of at least 3.3 (on a 4.0 scale) for the last two undergraduate years OR
• Successful completion of a master's degree from a recognized institution may be considered in lieu of the GPA.
• International applicants must also achieve a score of 550 or better on the TOEFL exam.
• We consider candidates from a variety of fields who have a master's degree or advanced graduate work in a different content area. Necessary courses to be taken for the Learning and Cognition Doctorate in this instance will be considered initially at the time of application and later upon the student's arrival. The student may need to show syllabi and written work from master's level and/or advanced graduate courses taken at another college or university in order to receive credit toward a program requirement. (Please note, any such credit does NOT count toward the Florida State University credit hours requirements.)

To complete your application, you must submit an online FSU application form, an EPLS application form (click HERE to download),  three recommendations from faculty or employers and a personal statement (about one to two pages) briefly describing your academic and occupational history, academic interests, and academic and occupational goals following your degree completion.

And, of course:

• transcripts from all academic colleges of universities you have attended (whether you earned a degree or not)
• Graduate Record Exams and Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) if appropriate

Requests for further information about admission may be addressed to any member of the Learning and Cognition faculty or to:
