Welcome to the Website for Graduate Studies in Psychology at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison! I am delighted that you are considering graduate work in our
department.
Our goal is to train the future leaders in Psychology. The program is
founded on the premise that graduate students come here not only to acquire
knowledge but also, and more importantly, to question and create knowledge.
To this end, students embark on their "First Year Research Projects" soon after they
arrive and present their findings to the entire faculty and graduate students at the
"First Year Research Symposium" the beginning of their second year.
We take great pleasure in watching our graduate students develop scientifically and
professionally. We employ a very flexible mentor model in which students work closely with one or
more faculy members to achieve their research and professional goals. Some students
prefer to work with one mentor whereas others collaborate with multiple mentors,
sometimes cutting across different areas of psychology. Our faculty are world renowned
and,thus,are outstanding mentors and teachers. The excellence of our training program
is reflected in the great success of our graduate students in obtaining predoctoral
fellowships, publishing their research while in residence, and obtaining excellent positions
upon graduation.
We invite you to apply to our program and begin the exciting process of forming your scientific
and professional identity in the Psychology Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
