Applying
To participate in the dual degree program, students must initially apply to and be accepted by both the Graduate Field of Human Development and the Law School. Admission to one program does not guarantee admission to the other. Note that applications to the PhD/JD program in Developmental Psychology/ Law will be reviewed continuously. However, it is strongly recommended that prospective students apply as early as possible to both schools.
Questions regarding applications, program information and other queries should be directed to Sadie Hays (lphd@cornell.edu), Assistant to the Law, Psychology and Human Development program.
After submitting their applications, students should contact the Director of the Law, Psychology and Human Development Program, Professor Charles Brainerd (cb299@cornell.edu), in order to facilitate review.
Application information
The Graduate School and the Law School each have comprehensive checklists for all the documents and materials that prospective students should prepare for their applications.
