The Delaware Difference:

Compelling Research in a Supportive Environment

The University of Delaware (UD) marries an illustrious heritage with an enlightened vision:

  • UD is one of the oldest institutions of higher education in the United States, tracing its roots to 1743. Three students, from the first class of the school that was UD’s predecessor, went on to sign the Declaration of Independence.
  • We are one of the oldest PhD granting departments at UD and is one of two top departments in the College of Arts and Sciences ranked by the National Research Council (NRC).
  • The Department has consistently garnered millions of dollars of grant support from federal agencies such as NIH and NSF and faculty members are international leaders in their specific subdisciplines in Psychology.
    Graduate and undergraduate students receive superior training in many fields of psychology and frequently nominate faculty members for teaching awards.
  • Faculty advisors are actively engaged in mentoring graduate students, giving thoughtful advice and empowering students to pursue independent research interests.

On this website, you will find what you need to decide if one of our psychology programs is right for you. We offer four Ph.D. programs – behavioral neuroscience, clinical, cognitive and social – as well as a B.A. and B.S in Psychology.

Beyond course descriptions and requirements, please take time to get to know our people. Contact faculty members about their innovative research and the many opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration. Ask our majors about advisor support and the camaraderie of our academic community.

Our department’s reputation for research excellence is thriving, and we hope you will consider applying to one of our graduate programs. If your goal is to work with a faculty dedicated to excellence in research, and make an impact as a respected researcher yourself, we look forward to welcoming you as a student.
