The mission of the Experimental Psychology Ph.D. program at the Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ is to promote independent scholarship, excellence in teaching, and training in research as they relate to each candidate’s concentration.
The Experimental Program is designed to provide a research emphasis within the field of psychology, including:
- Behavioral & Systems Neuroscience
- Cognitive Psychology
- Comparative Animal Behavior
- Developmental Psychology
- Quantitative Psychology
- Social Psychology
Students are expected to actively participate in research with faculty members throughout their tenure in the program. The emphasis on one-to-one training is the medium through which Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ acquire requisite research skills through working on projects leading to publication and/or grant applications.
Students develop advanced knowledge and actualize their talents in one or more areas of expertise sought out by both academia and the private sector.
Most Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ who are admitted aspire to a position in academics; however, opportunities for employment in private industry, research institutes, and government also exist.
For more information, contact individual faculty members or the Director of the Experimental Program, Dr. Daniel Denis.
