Overview

Our Psychology graduates at the University of California, Riverside secure positions in academic institutions, research institutes, government health and social service agencies, and corporate research and consulting companies.

Research

All students become involved in research during their first quarter on campus, typically in an ongoing laboratory or field project.

Students are encouraged to develop and pursue their own research questions at a pace consistent with their developing mastery of methodological skills for independent research.
The doctoral dissertation is typically an extension of the student’s own research program.
One of the strengths of the doctoral program at UCR is the very close working relationship that exists between students and faculty. Research teams composed of faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students often pursue related research questions.
