专业概况

在这里学什么？

The graduate Psychology program is characterized by highly individualized study leading to the Ph.D. degree. Emphasis is placed on research, teaching, and professional career development. Each student is associated with one of the six program areas offered in the department: Clinical (including Child Clinical); Cognitive; Developmental; Psychobiology; Industrial/Organizational; Social.

An individual's particular pattern of interests dictates in part the course of study followed. Within all areas, research is an integral part of study; usually, the research is empirical in focus, but it may be applied or basic, depending on the problem of interest.

The department has laboratories, computer facilities, darkroom, and shop, and students have access to the large resources of the University, which include excellent computation facilities and a large open-stack library. Opportunities for practicum experience are available; e.g., clinical students find practicum in local mental health centers, while industrial students find placement in appropriate business or industrial settings.

OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION

The Department of Psychology makes every effort to recruit and train minority psychologists. Support for minority students is coordinated by the department, the Graduate School Minority Graduate Scholars Award Program, and the American Psychological Association Minority Fellowship Program. In addition, the department often has funded minority students through minority training programs and special minority research programs.

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

The psychology department does not have a graduate program designed for students seeking only the master's degree. A master's thesis, or the department's equivalent (an acceptable published journal article), is required for the Ph.D. degree in Psychology. Usually, but not always, the master's thesis centers on an empirical research topic. The typical thesis involves: a literature review, data collection, analysis, and discussion.

A master's degree is not awarded unless a thesis is submitted to the Graduate School. Students must successfully propose a thesis study by the end of the second year and have successfully defended a thesis by the end of their third year in the program.
