Welcome

Since its inception in 1978, the faculty, students, and research staff at our department have studied the role of behavior, cognition, and motivation in physical and mental health. Our department offers the following degrees: (1) Ph.D. in Medical Psychology [open to civilian and military students] that focuses on biobehavioral research, and (2) Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology which has two tracks. The Clinical Psychology program follows a scientist-practitioner model that emphasizes biopsychosocial research and evidence-based clinical practice. Track 1 - The Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology-Military Track focuses on practice in clinical and operational military settings and training in relevant research. This track is open to active duty military and civilians entering military service. Track 2 - The Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology-Dual Track combines medical and clinical psychology training with an emphasis on basic and applied research. This track is open to civilian students.
