ObjectivesThe graduate programs in Psychology emphasize training for research. They are best described as "apprenticeship" programs in which students work closely with a faculty member who has agreed to supervise the student's research. Compared with many other graduate programs, the Department places less emphasis on class work and greater emphasis on research, scholarship and independent thinking.
