What are the differences between a master's degree and a doctoral degree in psychology?
What are the different career paths available to those who earn a Ph.D. in psychology?
What are the different research areas of psychology?
What is life as a psychology graduate student really like?
What steps can I start taking now to be a desirable candidate for psychology Ph.D. programs?
We are especially interested in applicants who identify with historically excluded racial/ethnic minority groups and/or who are the first in their families to go to college, and/or students who experience financial hardship. However, all students who are committed to strengthening psychology by increasing diversity and inclusion in the field will receive serious consideration.
