Although most of our incoming graduate students' interests fall within the five existing Area Groups of Psychology in the department (Biological, Clinical, Cognitive and Cognitive Neurosciences, Developmental, and Social/Personality), some do not. That some students' interests cut across our departmental Area Groups and/or interface with other departments on campus is to be expected in a top-notch department because the boundaries of Psychology itself are in flux. The Individualized Graduate Major is designed for those graduate students who do not find a niche in our current area group structure and, instead, wish to cross traditional Area Group lines and/or incorporate substantial training from other departments in their Psychology graduate work. It is important to emphasize that the Individualized Graduate Major leads to a Psychology Ph.D. and is not appropriate for students whose graduate study does not emphasize Psychological Science. Such students are advised to pursue a Ph.D. in another department or a Committee degree.
