Program Overview

Our program has three concentrations, two are primarily research focused and one is research and clinically focused. Each concentration emphasizes the scientific methods and principles common to all fields of psychology. You will participate in supervised research, and a thesis is required.

  • The applied behavior analysis concentration focuses on the conceptual and methodological foundations of behavior analysis and takes a data-based approach to behavioral assessment and clinical psychology. The scope of behavior analysis is wide-ranging, including work in populations with developmental disabilities, in behavioral medicine, educational settings, non-profit organizations, and many others with emphasis placed on providing evidence-based intervention services. Students also have the opportunity to work with basic researchers in the areas of behavioral pharmacology.
  • Graduates of the psychological science concentration are not eligible to practice psychology but frequently go on for doctoral study in clinical, social, neuroscience, and other areas. Some are researchers, administrators, and college-level psychology instructors.
  • The neuroscience and behavior concentration prepares students for doctoral programs in neuroscience, behavioral neuroscience and related fields.
