Overview

The Department of Psychology offers doctoral training in clinical and experimental psychology and master's-level training in two specialties: health psychology and behavior analysis. Within experimental psychology, training is offered in the areas of neuroscience, behavior analysis, cognition and perception, health and social psychology, and developmental psychology. The Department refers students interested in counseling psychology, guidance, and school psychology to the Department of Educational Psychology in the School of Education.

Students seeking the PhD may apply for admission to either the clinical or the experimental doctoral program. Transfer from clinical to experimental, or vice versa, requires reapplication to the Department of Psychology. Beginning students without master's degrees are accepted at the master's level, where they must first complete requirements for a master's degree, following the general psychology track. Students who have earned a master's degree elsewhere are admitted at the doctoral level, provided that a thesis has been completed. Although it is possible for the academic portion of the doctoral program to be completed in four years, many students, particularly in the clinical program, require five or more years. Students are expected to be enrolled full time and to earn their PhD's within seven years of initial enrollment, exclusive of the one-year internship required in the clinical program.

Students seeking master's-level training only may apply for either the health psychology or the behavior analysis specialties. Transfer from health psychology to behavior analysis, or vice versa, requires reapplication to the Department of Psychology. It is possible to complete requirements for the MS in two or three years of full-time study. Part-time study is allowable, as long as the MS is earned within seven years of enrolling.

Students may not earn more than two degrees from the Department of Psychology. Therefore, students who earned a bachelor's degree in psychology from UW-Milwaukee are not eligible to apply for admission to the doctoral program unless they earned a master's degree in psychology elsewhere.

All students are expected to know the facts, methodologies, and theories of psychology, and special emphasis is placed on developing research competence. Students receive training at the Department's research laboratories and clinic. Additionally, UWM's metropolitan location offers access to many off-campus sites, including the VA Medical Center, Milwaukee Children's Hospital, and the Medical College of Wisconsin.

Application

Application must be made to both the Graduate School and the Department of Psychology. In addition to materials required by the Graduate School, the applicant should send — or have sent — to the Graduate Admissions Committee of the Department of Psychology, transcripts of all undergraduate and previous graduate work (although the Graduate School requires official copies, the Department accepts unofficial copies); GRE examination scores; letters of recommendation; and the completed departmental application form. Applicants are admitted only at the beginning of each academic year. Applications should be submitted by December 7 (clinical doctoral program) or December 31 (other graduate programs).

Admission

An applicant must meet Graduate School requirements plus the following departmental requirements to be considered for admission to the program:

1. The completion of an undergraduate major in psychology.
2. Submission of scores on the General Test and the Subject Test of the Graduate Record Examination.
3. Positive recommendation by the Admissions Committee.

Admission is based on evaluations of an applicant's entire record. In evaluating each application, the Admissions Committee examines such factors as test scores, courses taken, involvement in independent research and study projects, and letters of recommendation.

Students without an undergraduate major in psychology may be considered for admission provided the following courses are completed: introductory statistics, a laboratory course in research methods of psychology, and an advanced laboratory course in psychology. Students with one of these courses are eligible to apply, but the two remaining courses would have to be completed within three semesters of enrollment. No course credits earned in making up deficiencies may be counted as program credits required for the degree. Students satisfying only this very minimal requirement should understand that additional work may be required to enroll in specific graduate-level courses.

Advising and the Major Professor

Graduate School and departmental regulations require students to have a major professor to direct their research activities. It is important for students to start their research early in their graduate studies. Admittees are assigned to a major professor they have chosen during the admissions process.

Before the end of the second semester, the student must form an advisory committee of three departmental faculty members, including the student's major professor. Students are free to change their major professor at any time. The Department also provides a Graduate Program Coordinator, who advises about courses and program requirements and who approves programs of study. The Graduate Program Coordinator is also available to help students who wish to change their major professors to find new ones.

Credits and Courses: General Psychology Track

Students are admitted to the general psychology track with the understanding that they will be continuing in the doctoral program. The minimum requirement for the MS is 26 graduate credits of psychology, 20 of which must be earned in formal coursework (excluding practica) and 6 of which must be earned through an acceptable thesis.

Thesis

The student, under the direction of an advisor, must develop an acceptable thesis based on empirical research. The student must pass an oral examination in defense of the thesis.

Time Limit

The student must complete all degree requirements within three years of initial enrollment.

Specialization in Health Psychology

The specialization in health psychology offers training in research and theories relevant to health promotion, stress and its management, the patient in the treatment setting, management of pain, and management of chronic illness, as well as causes and consequences of disorders such as coronary heart disease, stroke, cancer, and arthritis. The program of studies consists of core health psychology coursework, research coursework, psychology breadth coursework, and an optional field placement.

Students are encouraged to take at least 3 credits of 812 (Field Placement in Psychology) in their area of interest.

Thesis or Project

The student, under the direction of an advisor, has the option of developing either an acceptable thesis based on empirical research or an acceptable project (a review or theoretical paper). In either case, students must demonstrate their ability to formulate a research idea and pursue independent and original investigation. The student must pass an oral examination in defense of the thesis, but no oral examination is required for a project.

Time Limit

The student must complete all requirements within seven years of initial enrollment.

Specialization in Behavior Analysis

Behavior analysis emphasizes environmental control of the individual organism. The specialization in behavior analysis introduces students to this science and its application through coursework in conceptual foundations, basic principles, and research methods. Students may focus on either basic or applied research, and conduct either laboratory or field research.

Admission

A master's degree in psychology that includes a thesis derived from empirical research is a prerequisite for admission to the doctoral level of the graduate program. Students who receive their master's degree in the general psychology track at UWM have satisfied this requirement and are advanced to the doctoral level of the program. Students with other master's degrees in psychology must meet general Graduate School requirements and departmental requirements as given for admission to master's-level study. If a thesis has not been completed as part of the master's degree, the student must complete a thesis or the equivalent of a thesis before being designated a doctoral-level student.

Advising and the Major Professor

As with master's level study, Graduate School and departmental regulations require students to have a major professor to direct their research activities. Students who have earned a UWM master's degree may continue with the same major professor, but this is not required. Entering students are assigned to the major professor they have chosen during the admissions process.

Before the end of the second semester the student must form an advisory committee of five faculty members, including the student's major professor. Doctoral level students are free to change their major professor at any time. The Department provides a Graduate Program Coordinator, who advises about courses and program requirements and who approves programs of study. The Graduate Program Coordinator is also available to help any student who wishes to change his/her major professor to find a new one.

Course of Study

The minimum degree requirement is 54 graduate credits beyond the bachelor's degree, at least 27 of which must be earned in residence at UWM.

Departmental doctoral curriculum

Only courses numbered 700 or above and a few departmentally designated undergraduate/graduate courses, including 510 and 610, may be counted in the doctoral curriculum, which is specified in the department's Doctoral Student Handbook. Professional matters of concern including ethics are integrated in coursework throughout the curriculum.

Majors

Students in the clinical program satisfy their major by completing a sequence of required courses, including professional ethics, issues, and research methods in clinical psychology; developmental psychopathology; systems of psychotherapy; two courses in assessment; and empirically supported interventions. In addition to classroom courses, students majoring in clinical psychology also must complete a sequence of practicum courses for a minimum of 400 hours of training in assessment, diagnosis, therapy, and professional practice and, later, a pre-doctoral, extramural, full-time (2000 hours) internship.

In consultation with their major professors, students in the experimental program choose a major in one of the following areas: neuroscience; cognition and perception; behavior analysis; health and social psychology; and developmental psychology. An experimental major is a program of integrated study, including a minimum of three graduate-level courses (9 credits; e.g., the core course and two advanced courses). The curriculum in each experimental major area typically consists of a core course plus advanced courses having the core course or equivalent preparation as a prerequisite. Each departmental major consists of designated courses as listed in the department's Doctoral Student Handbook.

Departmental Minors

Students in the clinical program complete one departmental minor, and students in the experimental program complete two departmental minors. Departmental minors are chosen in consultation with the major professor from among the following areas: neuroscience; cognition and perception; behavior analysis; health and social psychology; developmental psychology; psychopathology (experimental students only); quantitative methods; and neurobiology. Note that quantitative methods and neurobiology, although counted as departmental minors, actually involve extradepartmental coursework. A student may choose only one minor that involves extradepartmental coursework; that is, no student may minor in both quantitative methods and neurobiology. A departmental minor consists of a minimum of two graduate-level courses (6 credits; e.g., the core course and one advanced course) in an area other than the major. Each departmental minor consists of designated courses as listed in the department's Doctoral Student Handbook.

Statistics, research design, and history of psychology requirements

All students must complete advanced statistics (510), experimental design (610), and the history of psychology (750).

Breadth requirement

Experimental students must complete one psychology course in an area other than their major and minor areas. Clinical students follow American Psychological Association (APA) requirements and complete one course from each of the following doctoral curriculum areas: neuroscience; health and social psychology; and cognition or conditioning/learning. Clinical students may count coursework in their departmental minor toward a breadth requirement, if appropriate.

Additional course requirements (clinical students only)

Clinical students must complete a course in multicultural clinical issues, and two advanced research methods courses.

Extradepartmental minors (optional)

If they wish, and with the approval of their major professors, students may complete, in another department, a coherent program of at least 8 graduate credits (undergraduate/graduate courses apply).

Residence

The student must meet minimum Graduate School residence requirements. Please note the requirement of earning at least 27 graduate credits at UWM after attaining doctoral student status. For more information on residence, see the Graduate School Doctoral Requirements page.

Doctoral Preliminary Examination

Students must pass a doctoral preliminary examination to qualify for formal admission to candidacy for the degree. The examination focuses on the student's major area of study and can be taken only after the master's degree has been earned and all relevant coursework has been completed satisfactorily. Specific guidelines for preliminary examinations in the various major areas can be found in the department's Doctoral Student Handbook.

Clinical Internship Requirement

After the doctoral preliminary examination has been passed, clinical students are eligible to begin a required extramural, one-year, full-time (2,000 hrs.) internship.

Dissertation Defense

The candidate must write a dissertation that demonstrates the ability to formulate a research topic and pursue independent and original investigation.

Final Oral Examination

The candidate must, as the final step toward the degree, pass an oral examination in defense of the dissertation.

Time Limit

The student must complete all degree requirements within seven years of initial enrollment (four years if entering with a master's degree), excluding internship.

For additional information on the PhD, see the Graduate School Doctoral Requirements page.
