Dr. Murray-Close is planning to review applicants for Fall 2025 enrollment.

Please review our application process and deadlines. If you have questions about the program that are not addressed on the Lab or UVM webpages, please reach out to me (dmurrayc@uvm.edu). Prospective students are not required to contact me in advance of applying, and reaching out will not affect the review of your application or the chances of admission. Please note that I do not have capacity to meet with prospective applicants before the application deadline.
Several of my excellent developmental psychology colleagues are also reviewing applicants for Fall 2025. We are a collaborative department and many of our students work in more than one lab.
I mentors students through both the Experimental Ph.D. in Psychology program (with a focus in developmental psychology) and the Clinical Ph.D. in Psychology program, as well as the hybrid Clinical/Developmental Ph.D. program.
