Graduate Certificate program in Developmental and Child Psychology at Duke University

Methods Students must take two graduate-level methods or statistics courses. These can be in any department, but they must be approved by the program (submitted to head of program).

These can be either regular courses or seminars.

Other Requirements Students are expected to regularly attend the developmental working group meetings. They are required to give at least two talks in this meeting: prototypically one on their masters work early in their tenure, and one on their dissertation work later in their tenure.

Students are required to complete a research practicum in a lab other than their advisor’s by the end of their third year. The practicum can be method or content-based, and students are expected to continue their work in their primary lab (to some degree) during this time.

Students are required to fill out a Graduate Student Activities Report at the end of each school year.
