Ringkasan program

This program provides graduate students with strong training in the general discipline of developmental psychology as well as more focused training in one or more of its sub-areas: cognitive, social-personality, biological, infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Students acquire a common scholarly background that enables graduates to function as part of the community of developmental scholars, able to engage at a high level in an intellectual dialogue with colleagues. The PhD degree usually takes five years to complete, including course work, teaching assistantships, and research. This program places heavy emphasis on research training. Students prepare for academic careers in departments of psychology, sociology, or human development; government careers in agencies concerned with research or social policy; and in a range of community agencies or private enterprise.
