The Department of Psychology offers graduate programs leading to a Doctor of Philosophy degree.
Some areas require internships or practica.
Students may work toward becoming researchers, teachers, practitioners, or a combination of the three. The facilities of the department permit work in cognition, normal and atypical development, neuropsychology, behavioral neuroscience, learning and memory, infant behavior, sensation and perception, learning disabilities, personality, assessment, health psychology, individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, behavior therapy, social psychology, and community psychology. Students may work with both human and nonhuman populations. Nonhuman populations include several species ranging from hamsters to the great apes. The graduate offerings are structured into programs that conform to major subdisciplinary boundaries within psychology.
