The PhD in Applied Social Psychology program trains students to apply social psychological theories and methods to understand and address major health problems and health disparities. Following the scientist-practitioner model, the program provides a solid foundation in social psychological topics such as attitudes, social cognition, social influence and decision-making, and also promotes mastery of research methods (i.e., experimental and correlational approaches, and quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods research). The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the academic International English Language Testing System (IELTS), or the PTE Academic is required of all applicants except those who hold a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree from a college or university in the United States or from an institution located in a country in which English is the official language, provided English was the language of instruction.
