The University of Texas at Dallas is an equal opportunity/affirmative action university.

The doctoral program offers interdisciplinary preparation in basic and applied aspects of human development and communication sciences. The faculty includes specialists in communication science, communication disorders, developmental psychology, audiology, cognitive science, and neuroscience. These faculty offer course work in three major areas: Cognition and Neuroscience, Developmental Psychology, and Communication Sciences. Core and specialized courses provide the foundation for a wide spectrum of doctoral research.

Admissions Information
The faculty seek the most outstanding students and admissions are competitive. The committee considers three factors in reaching its decisions: 1) the academic record and qualifications (including upper division and graduate GPA and GRE scores), 2) letters of recommendation and statements of faculty who know the applicant, and 3) a match between the applicant's interests and the program's goals and capabilities. Acceptance into a major coordinate area depends on the number of openings in that area.

Among the application materials you will receive is the Doctoral Study Applicant Information form. It is to be completed and returned directly to the graduate secretary along with a personal statement (narrative) that addresses the individual's personal and professional goals, the ways in which the individual sees that he/she may accomplish those goals through work in the Human Development and Communication Sciences doctoral program, and his/her specific research interests. The application, letters of recommendation, all transcripts, and GRE scores are to be sent to the OFFICE OF ADMISSIONS. Application materials should be received by February 15 for consideration for Fall admission and assistantship support.

Financial Aid
Teaching and Research Assistantships are available to Ph.D. students. Out-of-state residents who hold teaching or research assistantships pay the same tuition and fees as in-state residents. Grants, scholarships, and loans also are available.

 The University
The University of Texas at Dallas was formerly the privately operated Southwest Center for Advanced Studies. It became part of The University of Texas System in 1969, when it began enrolling graduate students. The University has been admitting upper-level undergraduates since 1975, and is admitting freshmen and sophomores as of Fall, 1990. Originally a complex of natural sciences research laboratories, The University of Texas at Dallas has evolved into a broad university with Schools of Arts and Humanities, General Studies, Management and Administration, Natural Science and Mathematics, Engineering and Computer Science, Social Sciences, and Human Development. In spite of this breadth, the University remains small, with a student body of about 8,700 and about 200 tenured/tenured-track faculty. The main campus in Richardson sits on approximately 500 acres.

Housing
Students can select from a wide range of apartments and houses proximal to the main campus. Rents are comparable to those in other large urban areas. In addition, an apartment complex for UTD students is located adjacent to the main campus in Richardson.

Location
The main campus of the University is located in Richardson, a northern suburb of Dallas. The Callier campus is located within a few minutes of downtown Dallas. The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex has become the seventh largest metropolitan area in the United States. Students can take advantage of many recreational activities, including those provided by several lakes in the area. The surrounding countryside is ideal for golf, sailing, flying, and horseback riding. Cultural attractions are numerous, and include the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, which now performs in a recently completed world-class symphony hall (The Morton Meyerson Center), the Dallas Civic Opera, the Dallas Museum of Arts, and the Dallas Theater Center. There are outstanding restaurants, shopping areas, and athletic events. The University supports a number of lectures, films, and exhibits and has facilities for intramural sports. The climate is healthful and sunny, with clear air, mild winters, and hot summers.
