The University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Psychology Department ranks among the nation's most established and respected psychology programs. Graduate students can specialize in five key disciplines: clinical psychology, social-cognitive studies, developmental psychology, legal psychology, and neuroscience/behavioral studies. Faculty members deliver exceptional research opportunities, instructional excellence, and practical training across these six domains. Notably, the department houses a distinguished law-psychology dual degree program and was among the first to receive APA accreditation for its clinical psychology curriculum. Students benefit from state-of-the-art computing resources, laboratory access, and comprehensive research assistance. As a Ph.D.-exclusive program, all enrollees complete a master's degree while progressing toward their doctorate. The department guarantees financial assistance through multiple channels for every admitted student.
