The Department of Psychological Science provides a doctoral program in Psychological Science, designed to educate behavioral scientists in applying psychological theories and methodologies alongside insights from related fields. This program examines human behavior and health throughout different life stages and within various sociocultural environments. It prioritizes both fundamental and practical research aimed at enhancing individual well-being, community dynamics, and societal operations. The curriculum stresses combining insights from multiple psychology subfields to comprehend the origins and development of both adaptive and problematic behaviors, while also promoting research with potential impacts on social policies, community initiatives, and intervention strategies.
The health psychology specialization investigates how psychosocial and behavioral elements affect illness development and disease progression, while also evaluating the efficacy of wellness initiatives and medical interventions.
