We train students in five areas of psychology.
- Behavioral and Cellular Neuroscience
- Clinical Psychology
- Cognition and Cognitive Neuroscience
- Industrial/Organizational Psychology
- Social and Personality Psychology
Each area has specific requirements for doctoral students in their program. All students are required to take two graduate Psychology courses (6 credit hours) outside their area of specialization, identified in collaboration with the advisor. Upon approval by advisor and area faculty, one of these courses (3 credit hours) can be substituted with one outside-department graduate course (3 credit hours). The purpose of this requirement is to ensure that students acquire depth of knowledge in psychology beyond their specialty area. All breadth courses must be completed with a grade of B or higher.
