The Psychology program at UC Davis is oriented toward training qualified students to pursue careers in the areas of research and teaching. (The department does not offer training in clinical or counseling psychology.) Although students in the program have the option of obtaining an M.A. degree enroute to the Ph.D., students are admitted to the graduate program only if they plan to obtain a Ph.D. degree. Resources and program faculty are concentrated in five areas: developmental; perception, cognition and cognitive neuroscience; psychobiology (comparative and physiological psychology); social-personality; and quantitative.

While an M.A. degree may be obtained while pursuing a Ph.D. degree, only Ph.D. applications will be accepted.

This is a Departmentally-based Graduate Program.
