It's GSAPP's Golden Anniversary! 

Celebrating 50 Years of Excellence and Service to the Common Good

Celebrate With Us

The Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology (GSAPP) proudly celebrates its 50th anniversary, marking five decades of being the "gold standard" in the training of future mental and behavioral health practitioners. Through pivotal service delivery, we continue making an indelible impact on the lives of underserved individuals, groups, communities, and systems.

We leverage the resources of an R1 Research University, Rutgers, yet retain close-knit relationships through our small cohorts, low faculty-staff ratios, invaluable campus, local, and statewide partnerships, donors and friends. Come along on our journey as we look back, and ahead, on 50 years of excellence.
