Health Psychology
Overview
The Health Psychology Area has existed informally for the past 30 years as an area of specialization for doctoral study. Our students and faculty have published in every major journal in the area, and health psychology has long been recognized nationally and internationally as an area of strength within the Psychology Department. Health-related research has been supported by more than 60 million dollars in grants from federal, private, and corporate funding sources. Health Psychology as a concentration area is now more formally structured, and our goals, some of our past accomplishments, and more detailed requirements will be described here.
