School Location
Doctoral training in experimental psychology prepares the student for an academic career in teaching and research. It offers concentrations in developmental psychology, adulthood and aging, cognitive psychology, mental retardation research, and social psychology. Faculty members help students develop flexible programs of study, according to individual interests.

The program provides the student with strong bases in general psychology and research design and analysis in specific interest areas. Research training is a major component and follows an apprenticeship mode. At the beginning of the program, the student works with one or more faculty members and collaborates on research with them. Through the affiliation with active contributors, the student is involved in the important questions and major methodologies of that area.

Experimental students usually complete their studies within four years.

Satisfactory completion of a specified number of core courses and an acceptable thesis earns the student his or her Master of Arts degree and admission to doctoral candidacy. Ph.D. students must satisfactorily complete advanced study and training in their area of specialization, a series of exams, and the dissertation.

Entering students should have a broad background in the arts and sciences and be prepared to concentrate on psychology. Time is provided, however, to take electives through other departments such as Anthropology, Computer Science, Sociology, and at the Schools of Applied Social Sciences, Management, and Medicine.
