Biopsychology Program

The Biopsychology program is designed to give graduate students a broad experience with techniques and issues in several areas of the discipline. As a student in our program, you will receive some of your training through traditional classroom instruction and small seminars, but the major focus of the program is active learning through close collaboration with faculty. You will be expected to choose a faculty member whose research interests are compatible with your own — developing a mentoring relationship with that faculty member to guide and train you during your graduate career.

How to Apply

The Biopsychology program will not be admitting students for 2013-14. However, some of our faculty may be admitting students into the Health PhD program. So please check with individual faculty and check out the Health PhD program information.
