专业概况

在这里学什么？

The Department of Psychology believes the best graduate education involves close working relationships between faculty and students. Thus, a high faculty to student ratio and small class size characterize our graduate programs. Every incoming student works directly with a faculty mentor as a means of gaining valuable research, teaching, and professional experience. There also are opportunities for individualized study and experience in directed readings, research, and supervised teaching.

Program in Psychological Sciences

The goal of this program is to prepare students for careers in teaching and research. All students are expected to demonstrate a high level of competence in one of the specialty areas listed below. Students are also expected to demonstrate competence in statistics and experimental design, and in several areas of general psychology outside their specialty area. Competence is assessed in terms of performance in courses, research projects, teaching, and a comprehensive examination. The comprehensive exam is given at the end of the second year of graduate study or at the end of the first year for students entering with a master’s degree from another university. The Department offers the following specialty areas within Psychological Sciences:

Cognitive and Biological Psychology

This program covers several basic areas of experimental psychology, including cognition, perception, biopsychology, and behavioral neuroscience. Students develop research skills and conduct research in at least one specialty area. Students also become familiar with areas of general psychology outside their specialty, and with statistics and experimental design. Students work closely with a research advisor, and begin research involvement in the first year. There are many opportunities for individualized study and directed readings. Opportunities for teaching are available to advanced graduate students.

Social Psychology

By emphasizing basic and applied research at the Ph.D. level, the social psychology program aims to produce well-rounded academicians and practitioners by fostering a solid understanding of theory and research in social psychology, as well as knowledge of how social research may be applied to solve practical problems. The program operates on an apprenticeship model by which students work closely with faculty members on theory-driven research. Students are trained to think conceptually and to acquire proficiency in research methodology, statistics, scholarly writing, oral presentation, and teaching.

Program in Clinical Psychology

The Clinical Psychology Training Program prepares students for the doctorate (Ph.D.) in psychology and for careers combining research and clinical practice. While students earn a master’s degree (M.A.) on the way to earning their Ph.D., a terminal M.A. program in Clinical Psychology is not available. The program is accredited by the American Psychological Association and adheres to the scientist-practitioner model.

An academic core provides the foundation of knowledge in the areas of general and experimental psychology as well as psychotherapy, psychopathology, assessment, professional issues and ethics, and clinical research methods. Clinical training is centered on course work, individual tutorials in research, and clinical experiences supervised by professional models actively engaged in careers in those areas.
