Graduate Study and Research in Psychology at UNL

Application Deadlines:

January 2, 2009 Clinical

January 15, 2009 Biopsychology, Cognitive, Developmental, Law-Psychology, Social-Personality

We offer programs in graduate study that:

*emphasize the development of research and teaching excellence,

*establish collegial partnerships between students and faculty

*develop cross-fertilization of ideas between specializations in the context of a rigorous, but flexible, training program

Program areas are small enough to offer individual attention to each graduate student yet large enough to provide a broadly-based foundation for research and scholarship.

Graduate students quickly become involved in the department's diverse research activities, teaching opportunities, applied practica and internships, and governance processes.

For more information, please see the Graduate Student Handbook.
