Graduate Programs
Please Note: The department of Psychology is an experimental psychology program that trains experimental psychologists for research and teaching positions in academic settings and for research careers in the private sector. If you are interested in a clinical, couseling psychology program, please see the Graduate School of Education. The Ph.D. program in Psychology is designed to be completed in five to six years. During the first year, students complete a core set of courses designed to provide comprehensive coverage of theoretical and empirical issues in psychology and gain research experience under the supervision of a faculty advisor. Beyond the first year, students participate in advanced courses and seminars in which specialized topics are considered on more intensive levels. Students become skilled researchers as they obtain experience working in one or more faculty laboratories. Coursework, independent study, and research activities typically become more specialized as students progress through the program, culminating in comprehensive candidacy examinations, and the completion of a doctoral dissertation. There is no foreign language requirement for the Ph.D. degree in Psychology at UCSB. The Department of Psychology does not offer a terminal M.A. program. Admission is to the Ph.D. program only.
