The Social and Health Psychology Doctoral Program provides coursework and research training for students pursuing a Ph.D. This program is ideal for those aiming for research careers in either social psychology, health psychology, or their intersection (such as applying social psychology theories to health issues). Social psychology explores areas like social comparison, support systems, prejudice, stereotyping, social cognition, and social neuroscience. Health psychology examines psychological and behavioral factors influencing health promotion, disease prevention, and illness adaptation. Participants can join a departmental focus on close relationships, collaborating with faculty and peers across disciplines. Graduate students engage in joint research initiatives with professors based on shared interests.
