Requirements

In the first year of study, graduate students in Psychology typically take a two-semester course in quantitative methods and statistics, and a one-semester proseminar focusing on the history of psychology.

Students in the CNS Program also complete a rigorous program of advanced courses and seminars in core topics to give them a thorough grounding in the central issues in the field. Students take at least six seminars chosen from a list of seminars taught by CNS faculty.

Students also pursue coursework in their chosen minor area of study. The minor area may be selected from other programs within Psychology (Clinical, Ethology and Evolutionary Psychology, Environmental, Social Psychology, and Psychology, Policy and Law), or from other departments or programs within the University (e.g., Cognitive Science).

Support

Students maintaining good academic standing are supported during their graduate training by combinations of teaching and research assistantships, special fellowships, and tuition and fee waivers.
