Our graduate program follows a mentorship model. Each student works closely with one or more faculty advisors whose research aligns with their academic interests. Applicants should pinpoint potential faculty mentors during the admissions process. The department organizes its curriculum into seven distinct research concentrations, with applicants applying directly to their chosen specialization rather than the general department. Together with their advisors and faculty within their concentration, students design personalized academic plans to support their professional aspirations. Psychology remains an ever-evolving discipline. By examining human and animal behavior, our field bridges biological and social sciences. Continuous breakthroughs reshape our approaches to theory, practice, and methodology. For intellectually curious, innovative, and driven individuals, this represents an ideal moment to embark on advanced psychological studies.
We do not have a stand alone Master's program. However, accepted students to our Ph.D. program may earn a Master's on the way to a Ph.D. The Master's is optional to our Ph.D. program requirements.
Prerequisites: Some coursework in psychology or relevant area (psychology statistics or research methods) is desired if no prior psychology degree was obtained
