Overview

Key features

The Research Psychology program combines coursework in basic areas of psychology with research skill objectives, such as critically analyzing research and designing studies. This coursework provides the basis for collaborative research with faculty members.

An outstanding feature of this University of Massachusetts Dartmouth program is the opportunity for close interaction with faculty, both in the classroom and in the laboratory, because of the low student to faculty ratio.

Faculty have a broad range of research interest areas and are willing to consider student proposals for a specific interest area.

Potential Careers:

Upon graduation, psychology researchers typically find jobs in fields focused on human interaction, inside a classroom, or in a laboratory.
