The Educational Psychology Program prepares educational psychologists for a variety of roles, such as professors and researchers. Educational psychologists apply psychological research and theories to educational settings. Educational psychology is a broad discipline that applies psychological research and theories to educational settings. Students in the educational psychology programs study learning, development, motivation, assessment, testing, and instructional design. Individualized programs of study are developed for students to ensure that their studies prepare them well for the career paths they choose. We emphasize understanding theory and research related to learning and motivation, as well as how to apply empirically-based principles to issues and problems that affect the design, delivery, and evaluation of educational programs in a variety of practical settings. We offer high student/professor interaction, opportunities for student scholarship and research, and a commitment to diversity and equity. The faculty works closely with students to tailor their learning experiences to meet their goals.
