Graduate students often collaborate with faculty on this research or develop their own theses in similar areas, and research involves both human participants and animal research in both the laboratory and field. The School's facilities include a dedicated and well-equipped behavioral and physiological psychology laboratory, a cognitive/developmental research lab, and computer research labs. The program provides students with the foundations for later application to a clinical program through coursework and field experiences. The field experiences also allow students to explore careers in applied settings with professionals who have varied backgrounds.
