通用健康心理学（GHP）计划着重于基础研究和应用研究，以研究健康和疾病的生物学，心理，行为，社会，文化和环境相关因素。对于对非临床环境和人群中与健康有关的行为，决策和健康结果的各种决定因素和后果感兴趣的实验或差异研究感兴趣的学生而言，它是理想的选择。与UNCC计划的跨学科性质保持一致，我们鼓励成员将心理学不同专业的多种观点融合在一起，以建立对健康问题的更加一致的理解。这种哲学是在我们教师的性质中实施的，这些教师来自社会心理学，认知科学，差异心理学，生理心理学和组织传播等众多子领域。
The Behavioral Science Health Psychology (BSHP) program emphasizes both basic and applied research examining the biological, psychological, behavioral, social, cultural, and environmental correlates of health and illness. It is ideal for students interested in the experimental or differential study of the various determinants and consequences of health related behavior, decision making, and health outcomes in non-clinical contexts and populations. Consistent with the interdisciplinary nature of the program at UNC Charlotte, we encourage members to incorporate multiple perspectives from psychology's diverse specialties to create a more coherent understanding of health issues. This philosophy is operationalized in the nature of our faculty who come from a diverse array of subfields including social psychology, cognitive science, differential psychology, physiological psychology, and organizational communications.<br>Training for students enrolled in the BSHP program focuses on the development of strong research and data-analytic skills. From the first semester, students are expected to be actively engaged in research, and continue this engagement throughout their graduate career. Students graduating from this program are well suited for careers concerning the design and conduct of research in academic, medical, health, governmental, and corporate settings.
