Developmental Psychology PhD

Our program provides students with the theoretical perspectives and methodological skills needed for advanced scholarly work. Developmental students obtain extensive research training, take courses, and gain teaching experience in psychology.Our training program specifically focuses on normal and atypical development during the first two decades of life. The small size of the developmental psychology program gives students a cohesive and supportive environment that ensures they receive individualized attention. We employ a mentored junior colleague model of graduate training where students are regarded as integral members of the program.
