What will I learn?

The Educational Psychology Program offers a number of graduate programs leading to a master’s (MA), Educational Specialist (EdS), and PhD degree. The mission of the program is to provide students with a thorough understanding of the theory and research related to the nature of the learner and to the processes of teaching and learning. All degree programs reflect this mission and prepare students for careers as faculty members, researchers, and school practitioners.

The PhD is an advanced research degree and is designed specifically for students interested in careers within academic and research settings. PhD students may develop areas of study in:

learning
motivation
human development
educational neuroscience (an established PhD concentration)

The PhD in Educational Psychology with a concentration in Educational Neuroscience is based on an emerging transdisciplinary field that incorporates findings, methods, and theoretical perspectives from various fields, including cognitive neuroscience, learning sciences, cognitive science, and educational psychology. The concentration is currently open only to educational psychology PhD students. However, graduate students from any program can enroll in the courses offered.
