Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology -Applied Social Psychology

The doctoral program in psychology offers a rigorous educational experience leading to the PhD degree. The first four semesters of the program are designed to provide broad acquaintance with the substantive areas of the discipline, training in research skills, and introduction to the particular areas of emphasis offered in the program. During the last two years students will pursue specialized course work and training in one of three main emphasis areas: (1) Applied Social Psychology or (2) Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience or (3) Developmental Psychology, and a sub-specialty of Health Psychology. Students across the three emphasis areas may elect to complete a cross-area emphasis in Health Psychology.

Applicants should designate one or more potential faculty mentors in their application. By the end of the first semester, all students will have submitted a Program of Study form with the selection of a chair and two other members, each having graduate faculty status, as their dissertation committee. They should begin course work and research in their selected emphasis area in consultation with the dissertation committee chair.

This program and emphasis area is for students who want training in research and teaching, with an eye toward real-world applications of social psychology. This training can be used in a future career that includes some combination of research, teaching, and/or application (e.g., program development and evaluation, statistical or methodological consulting, legal consulting, industrial or organizational consulting, or various applications to health psychology).
