Overview

Features

In the Psychology program at the University of Pittsburgh we nurture multidisciplinary, collaborative training. We structure our training requirements with the aim of eliminating barriers and encouraging collaboration across our core areas of study.
More than half of our students participate in some form of cross-training. Popular options include or joint Clinical-Health an Clinical-Developmental training programs, and a Cognitive Neuroscience certificate program. In addition, informal opportunities for interdisciplinary training inside and outside the department are abundant.
Students and faculty engage in both basic and applied research. Our department leads the way in integrating basic and applied perspectives within the field of psychology. Our immersion in real-world problems enriches our theoretical work, and our theoretical work contributes to the understanding of real-world problems.
The research interests of our faculty extend across the human lifespan and involve a diverse range of research populations (e.g., individuals with Alzheimer's disease, anxiety, autism, brain injury, depression, reading disability, Parkinson's disease, or schizophrenia).
