Susan C Baker, Ph.D.
Chair, Graduate Admissions Committee

I'm Dr. Susan Baker, chair of the admissions committee and it is my pleasure to provide you with information about our program. I welcome you to visit our web site  to learn more about our program. The committee oversees all aspects of the admissions process. First, we evaluate applications, looking at the whole package to make decisions. Second, we invite prospective students who meet our requirements to visit Loyola and interview with our faculty.  Finally, we offer admission to select candidates and provide any additional information necessary for each student to make her/his decision to matriculate in our program.  Our Ph.D. student stipend is $23,000 per year with full tuition and health insurance provided.
