We train future scholars, clinicians, and educators in the fields of applied psychology and research methodology to serve as leaders through rigorous training focused on evidence-based practices; cutting-edge research methodologies; and equity, diversity, and inclusion. Faculty and student research interests are broad and include school psychology, counseling psychology, human development, as well as qualitative and quantitative research methodology.
