Overview At the Rutgers University Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology, we provide the nation’s highest quality doctoral education and training, which develops outstanding practitioners and fosters personal leadership to advance the practice and field of professional psychology.

The mission of GSAPP is threefold: education, research/scholarship, and public service. Its goal is to prepare well‑educated, qualified, and competent direct‑service psychologists who have a special commitment to direct community involvement and to underserved populations—professionals who can integrate scientific knowledge with innovation in the delivery of psychological services to individuals, families, groups, and organizations.
