Doctoral Program in Psychology
University of Oregon on the rise in survey of Doctoral Programs in the Sept 2010 study by the National Research Council.
The goal of the Psychology Department’s doctoral program is to familiarize students with the theories and methods of psychology in their own and other specialties, so they will be able to make original contributions in research, teaching, and applied work.
The Ph.D. is a research and scholarly degree, and it is expected that students will be engaged in research throughout their graduate program. The ultimate goal of the graduate curriculum is to enable students to formulate interesting research questions and to put those questions to adequate empirical test. Therefore, student research is a basic and integral component of graduate work.
The research areas of study include: Clinical, Cognitive/Neurosicence, Developmental, Social/Personality.
