The Department of Psychology at Utah State University offers a doctoral program in Experimental & Applied Psychological Science that is designed to develop researchers with widely marketable skills. The program is highly flexible -- students work with mentors to design programs of study that fit their needs and goals. Working with a mentor, students can focus their training in a variety of areas, including: cognition & development, environmental psychology, health psychology, social-development, and sensory processing. Beyond these, there are three areas of emphasis where the department has particular strengths and expertise:
| The faculty of the REM emphasis area are committed to preparing highly qualified research-oriented professionals with expertise in research and evaluation techniques that will be marketable in a variety of occupations: evaluator, researcher, and academician. | The faculty of the Community Psychology emphasis area are devoted to training doctoral students to apply psychological principles, methods, and values of social justice in collaboration with community members to effect proactive social change at the community level. | The faculty of the Behavior Analysis emphasis area offers students the opportunity to obtain specialty training in Behavior Analysis. Training focuses primarily on basic research of learning and behavior and the role of conditioning in drug and alcohol abuse. |
