Students in our program research the methodology, measurement and statistics used to study human behavior. Our concentration prepares students to thrive in an increasingly data-driven world and sets them up to contribute to a wide range of important research endeavors.
The quantitative psychology concentration has a dual focus that trains students to develop and evaluate novel methodology, as well as to innovatively apply methods to solve important psychological research problems that impact society.
Please take a look at our people to learn more about individual faculty interests and current projects.
Our students evaluate novel techniques and methods to solve important psychological research problems that impact our community and society at large.
We equip our student scientists to conduct their own primary quantitative research and to collaborate effectively with substantive scientists. Graduates from our program are prepared to serve in research roles at major universities, medical centers, private firms or government agencies, among many others.
