| This track of the clinical program aims to train psychologists who are academically and clinically prepared to work as researchers, teachers, mentors, and clinicians in either academic settings or applied settings such as psychiatric hospitals. The track philosophy is based on the premise that research training and clinical training should be interwoven, such that development of each facilitates the further development of the other. The philosophy also is based on the premise that a sound conceptualization of normal behavior fosters better understanding of problem behavior. Thus, we place a stronger emphasis than do some clinical programs on the continuity between personality-social psychology on the one hand and psychopathology and clinical science on the other (more information Adult Clinical Track). |
The Evolution, Cognition, and Behavior program focuses on training students to conduct psychological research that emphasizes evolutionary approaches to one or more of the traditional domains of psychology (e.g., social, personality, cognitive, developmental). Students complete core psychology coursework, required departmental courses in statistics and research methods, and additional courses in biology and research methods. All students in the ECB track sub-specialize in statistics and research methods. Our intent is that students develop a sufficient base of research training and publications to compete successfully for jobs in academia, government, and the private sector after the Ph.D. is awarded. |
