The doctoral program in educational psychology offers students the opportunity to collaborate with professors while exploring how learning theories, cultural influences, developmental stages, and behavioral patterns relate to educational environments. Housed within the expanding Department of Learning Sciences, our program brings together scholars from various disciplines.
Our Ph.D. program operates on an apprenticeship basis, matching each student with a faculty mentor during their initial year. Together with your advisor, you'll design a personalized study plan that aligns with your academic goals while meeting program criteria. We actively encourage students to connect with professors whose research specialties complement their academic pursuits.
