The Health Psychology program includes a foundational health psychology course, two additional health psychology electives selected with advisor guidance, a two-part statistics series, two departmental minor concentrations (options include Cognition and Perception, Developmental Psychology, Neuroscience, Psychopathology, and Quantitative Methods), and one broad-based course chosen with faculty input. Detailed requirements can be found in the department's Doctoral Student Handbook.
Health psychology examines psychological factors affecting wellness and disease, playing a pivotal role in modern healthcare. The program provides education in health promotion research and theory. Collaborative projects between faculty and students address diverse topics including gender-related health issues, cancer prevention initiatives, reproductive health and STI prevention strategies, patient empowerment and self-management, stress impacts and coping mechanisms, and child maltreatment prevention. Studies occur in both laboratory environments and clinical contexts, with numerous faculty maintaining active community partnerships in Milwaukee.
