Students choose from four specialized tracks: Clinical Psychology, Cognition and Neural Science, Developmental Psychology, or Social Psychology. These concentrations serve as primary academic homes for both faculty and graduate students, while encouraging interdisciplinary exploration of research topics. The program features dedicated cross-disciplinary initiatives in health studies, along with shared focuses on sexuality, developmental psychopathology, and behavioral neuroscience. Our department stands out for its exceptionally collaborative atmosphere, fostering partnerships not only within psychology disciplines but also with fields like Computer Science and Medicine. This integrative training model brings innovative insights to established research questions, generating discoveries with broad significance across the psychological sciences rather than limited to narrow specialties.
