Psychological Sciences Graduate Program
The Psychological Sciences program is not accepting new students for fall 2026 admission.
The Department of Psychology offers graduate study leading to the M.A. and Ph.D. degree in Psychological Sciences (including social, cognitive, and biological psychology). We believe that a quality graduate education involves a close working relationships between faculty and individual students. A high faculty-to-student ratio and small class size characterize our graduate programs. In addition, each student works with at least one faculty member as a means of gaining valuable teaching, research and professional experience. There are many opportunities for individualized study and experience in research directed readings, and supervised teaching. A committee, representing the student’s interests, assists in planning an appropriate graduate program for each student.
All applications are due by December 31st.
*Note for Fall 2026 applicants: The Psychological Sciences program is not accepting new students for fall 2026 admission. The Psychological Sciences faculty choose to recruit graduate students during different academic years. We will update this page with that information for the Fall 2027 admission September or October 2026
