The Psychology Department offers PhD concentrations in Social Psychology, Developmental Science, and Cognitive Psychology. Each concentration has a distinct core faculty, curriculum, and students. Students are admitted to study in one of the three concentrations to work with a specific faculty member, who serves as research mentor. Each concentration offers a broad background in psychology, in-depth study of research methodology and statistics, and advanced coursework in the concentration. Each concentration offers a weekly  or biweekly brownbag research seminar, guided teaching experience, and a collegial atmosphere in which to study. All students receive funding for at least four years. For more information, please read the individual concentration web pages to the left or contact Dr. Mark Klinger, Director of Experimental Psychology, or one of the Coordinators, as listed below.
