Admissions

Application Procedures

CMPS admits new students in both the fall and spring semesters. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year.

CMPS requires applicants to have a minimum of a master’s degree. (Those who do not yet have a master’s degree may apply to the preclinical master’s program at our sister school, The Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis–New York.)

CMPS welcomes applications from individuals from a wide range of backgrounds, including the mental health professions, the arts, the humanities, and a range of disciplines and occupations. CMPS welcomes applications without regard to race, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, age, or national origin.

Applications to CMPS are submitted through the online application portal, including a statement of interest and résumé. Applicants arrange to have official transcripts of their previous undergraduate and graduate work as well as two letters of recommendation sent directly to the CMPS office. After all documents have been received, admissions interviews may be scheduled. Applicants who have had previous psychoanalytic training may request an equivalency evaluation of their coursework at the time of the admission interview. An equivalency request form is available for this purpose.

Applicants who wish to discuss questions about the program or the application process with an admissions advisor may arrange an appointment by utilizing the link on the CMPS homepage.
