心理与脑科学系提供心理学和脑科学博士学位课程，专门研究社会心理学，认知心理学，行为神经科学和临床科学领域。博士课程的学生可以通过提交论文来获得可选的硕士学位，但是所有学生都必须继续攻读博士学位。该计划的目的是培训研究人员，以拓宽心理学学科赖以生存的科学知识基础。主要着重于研究准备。其他重点包括为学生提供教学和临床心理学实践的准备。该临床培训计划已获得美国心理学会（APA）和心理临床科学认证系统（PCSAS）的认可。我们计划的目标是教育和培训下一代心理学和脑科学领域的研究人员，高级教育者和领导者。我们的总体
Richly diverse research opportunities in well-funded, productive and highly collaborative labs offering ready access to accomplished professors, make the Behavioral Neuroscience area a vibrant learning environment for motivated graduate students. The program in Behavioral Neuroscience provides training in the biological foundations of behavior, with a particular focus on sensation, learning and memory, affect, development, neural plasticity, social behavior, and animal models of developmental and affective disorders. The program reflects the multidisciplinary nature of the neurosciences and our research involves a wide range of modern neuroanatomical, neurophysiological, neuropharmacological, and behavioral techniques.
