Political psychology is a rapidly advancing field of scientific inquiry concerned with psychological aspects of political behavior. It encompasses a variety of interdisciplinary research perspectives, drawing on the theories and methods of core disciplines such as psychology, political science, and sociology, as well as interdisciplinary fields such as mass communication and decision sciences. In addition to providing a background in political psychology, the program trains students in the theory and methods useful to this field, such as content analysis, survey analysis, and experimental design. The faculty are drawn from ten programs within the Graduate School and Law School. Please contact the minor program office for information on relevant coursework.
Students are able to tailor the minor to complement their major programs.
