Fields of Graduate Instruction - Psychology

The Department of Psychology offers five courses of study leading to the Ph.D.: lifespan developmental psychology, human factors and ergonomics, psychology in the public interest, industrial-organizational psychology, and school psychology.

Admission Requirements: Applicants should have satisfactory grades in all undergraduate work and at least a "B" average in undergraduate psychology courses, satisfactory scores on the GRE and three satisfactory letters of recommendation. The GRE subject test is no longer required, but is strongly encouraged, especially for non-psychology majors. Faculty will examine transcripts for evidence of basic psychology competence. Match of applicants' research interests with current faculty research is usually an important consideration.

Master's Degree Requirements: Specific course requirements vary by concentration. Typical programs will include from 36 to 55 hours. The M.S. degree is available as part of work toward the doctorate, but students wishing to obtain a terminal M.S. are advised to consider other programs.

Doctoral Degree Requirements: The graduate program for each doctoral student is determined in conjunction with the student's graduate advisory committee and tailored to the needs, interests, and accomplishments of the individual. Students can expect to take from 36 to 54 hours of credit beyond the master's degree.

Student Financial Support: Many graduate students receive financial support in the form of teaching or research assistantships. Applicants should request such support when they apply to the program.
