We are recruiting high quality students for our young Ph.D. program (established in 2004). I would appreciate it if you could forward this message and the attached program brochure to your Master's students who might be interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in applied organizational psychology. For Fall, 2009 admission, the applicant deadline is February 1st. Let me briefly highlight some unique features of our doctoral program. First, we accept students who have already had a Master's degree in I/O psychology, or a related discipline, including MBAs. We do not accept students who apply directly from their undergraduate program. Second, under advisement, we allow Master's students to transfer a maximum of 38 previous graduate credits into the Ph.D. curriculum, presenting a unique opportunity for students to lessen their financial and time burdens. Third, given our excellent geographic location (25 miles east of Manhattan) and our affiliations with various private and public organizations, we are able to arrange paid opportunities in I/O psychology for students who wish to work part-time while pursuing their Ph.D. at Hofstra University. In addition to the compensation available for part-time work, Hofstra University also provides each incoming Ph.D. student with tuition remission support of around $6,000 per year, for three years. For general inquiries, students are encouraged to contact the Ph.D. student recruitment committee (Dr. Cong Liu, 516-463-6298, [log in to unmask] or Dr. Jinyan Fan, 516-463-6349, [log in to unmask]). Students may certainly contact me as well (516-463-6344, [log in to unmask]).
