The Ph.D. Program in Psychology prepares selected students for research, teaching, and practice in the various fields of psychology. Application for admission should be made to a particular subprogram. The field of psychology is quite complex, and the ten subprograms in psychology reflect that complexity. Our attempt is to provide students with a broad understanding of the whole field, even as they specialize.
Subprograms share interests and, in some cases, courses.
Students are encouraged to take courses in other subprograms and in allied social and biological sciences. In this way, students are provided with broad-based and flexible training that prepares them to gain careers in the psychology of today, and also to meet the challenges of the psychology of tomorrow. The Concentration in Health Psychology is available to students enrolled in all subprograms.
