PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Educational psychology is devoted to the study of the psychological dimensions of education, teaching, learning, and human development.
The Educational Psychology Program offers two areas of specialization: 

1. Human Development.  Human development concerns the study of developmental age trends; the causes and consequences of individual differences in cognitive, social, and emotional development; and the unfolding of human development in various cultural contexts, including the development of cultural identity.
2. Learning and Cognitive Science. Learning and cognitive science explores student learning as well as complex cognitive processes and their impact in educational contexts. This area also considers the impact of affective and cultural influences, including motivation, on cognitive processing.

Each area of specialization incorporates the most recent trends in psychology with implications and applications for education and other social service settings. Graduates of the program find employment in university teaching and research, government agencies, and business.
