Our mission is to train the next generation of researchers who will generate foundational discoveries in psychological science and translate findings into real-world impact.

With research spanning mind, brain, and behavior in health and disease — and approaches ranging from cells to communities — graduate students join a vibrant intellectual community where they collaborate with a large cohort of peers, receive exceptional mentorship from faculty, and access state-of-the art facilities.

Scientific training is at the heart of both our Psychology Ph.D. and Clinical Psychology Ph.D. programs, each preparing students for research careers in academia or industry, teaching, and more. The Clinical Psychology Ph.D. additionally offers science-centered training that is both APA- and PCSAS-accredited — a distinction held by only a fraction of programs nationally — and prepares students for licensure as clinical psychologists.

We invite you to survey our areas of study, browse the first placements of past graduates, learn more about the admissions, and find advice from our current graduate students.
