Our department develops and applies cutting-edge scientific knowledge concerning: the psychological and social processes that underlie learning; the design of effective instruction; the factors affecting the mental health of learners of all ages; and the methodological tools required to generate this knowledge.

 

According to U.S. News and World Report’s 2013 edition of America’s Best Graduate Schools, our department is ranked as the #1 Educational Psychology program in the nation.  We consistently rank at the top of the list.

The Department offers Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in Educational Psychology. The M.S. and Ph.D. programs provide comprehensive knowledge of the field and intensive specialization in four areas of study and research: Human Development,  Learning Sciences,  Quantitative Methods, and  School Psychology. We also house the Master of Science for Professional Educators (MSPE) program.
