Program Information
Introduction
The Department of Psychology at the University of
South Florida is committed to furthering our understanding of behavior and mental
processes by utilizing the methods of science in both basic and applied research.
We seek to train graduate students as independent scholars as they affiliate with
one or more of the broad spectrum of research programs carried out by our faculty.
By emphasizing the importance of research, teaching, and other scholarly endeavors,
we hope to instill in our graduates a firm commitment to the pursuit of knowledge
as well as a strong determination to find solutions for pressing human problems.
Programs
Given the large variety of research that is conducted
here in the department, we have organized our graduate program into three areas
of study: Clinical, CNS (Cognition,
Neuroscience, and Social Psychology), or
Industrial Organizational. You can find more information about each program
by clicking on the links above or by reviewing the information on our
Admission page and the Graduate Student Handbook on our Students: Policies & Procedures page.
Application Information
Students are admitted to one of the three
Ph.D. programs. We do not offer a terminal masters degree as we expect each of our
graduate students to work toward the Ph.D. For more information and application
materials, please visit our
Admission page.
