Doctor of Philosophy in Applied Social Psychology

The goal of the University of Windsor’s Applied Social Psychology program is to educate students as scholars, researchers, and practitioners in various areas of Social Psychology with an emphasis on CommunityHealth and IndustrialOrganizational Psychology.The program’s combination of course work, research, and practicuminternship experiences provides students with the resources necessary to teach, work, and conduct research in a variety of settings, including university departments, educational and community organizations, government agencies, social service agencies, hospitals, businesses, human resource groups, and management consulting firms.The department has strong programs in Applied Social Psychology and Clinical Psychology. Both programs are designed to take six to seven years to complete, including the completion of an MA degree which is expected to be completed within the first two years. MA Completion beyond the two years may jeopardize standing in the program. All of our graduate programs admit students for entry in the Fall term (September start). All programs are full time; there is no part-time option.Eligible students receive financial support in the first year in the form of entrance scholarships if meeting the required 80% academic average as well as employment as a Graduate Assistant. In addition, students may apply for Tri-Council Scholarship andor Ontario Graduate Scholar scholarship support prior to commencing studies. Other support may be available from individual faculty for research or applied projects.

Applicants with a four year undergraduate psychology degree or its equivalent will be considered for admission.
