Our Psychology PhD program provides seven specialized tracks, each with unique application and completion criteria. Since students are admitted directly into a specific specialization and transfers between programs aren't allowed, prospective applicants should thoroughly review each area's research focus before applying. The Psychology Department at the University of Virginia focuses on equipping students for both fundamental and practical research, as well as teaching careers. We provide doctoral programs in seven psychology disciplines: Clinical, Cognitive, Community, Developmental, Quantitative, Social, and Systems & Behavioral Neuroscience. Students can explore interdisciplinary opportunities based on their academic interests and career aspirations, though applications must be submitted to one of the seven primary specializations. Prospective students are encouraged to consult our Research Area pages to identify faculty members accepting lab students for the upcoming academic year.
