Educational Psychology
Educational Psychology explores cognitive, developmental, clinical, neuropsychological, and sociocultural perspectives on lifespan learning, development, and well-being.
Research within Educational Psychology examines how cognitive, emotional, moral, social, cultural, and environmental factors shape learning, development and well-being in schools, families, communities, and health contexts. Faculty employ diverse methodological approaches, including experimental, mixed-methods, qualitative, community-based participatory, and patient-oriented research.
As a doctoral student focused on Educational Psychology, you will be supported in interdisciplinary and socially responsive research that advances understanding of learning, development, inclusion, and well-being across educational and community contexts.
