Welcome to Graduate Studies in Psychology at the University of Windsor!  

As the Chair of Graduate Studies in Psychology at the University of Windsor, I’d like to thank you for your interest in our program and for visiting our website!! 
 
The Department of Psychology graduate program is the largest doctoral program in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Windsor.  We have an average of 100 Masters and Doctoral students enrolled at any given time. Their academic work and research are conducted under the supervision of 30 core Psychology faculty members. Issues related to graduate studies in Psychology are the responsibility of the Graduate Studies Committee which is made up of the Chair and faculty and student representatives from each of the areas. 
 

Our programs of study lead to the PhD in either Applied Social Psychology or Clinical Psychology. In terms of the Applied Social program, we are one of only three doctoral level programs in Canada and students can work with faculty members who specialize in areas such as health, community, and industrial/organizational psychology. In terms of the Clinical program, we have held continuous accreditation from both the Canadian (CPA) and American (APA) Psychological Associations for more than 20 years. This accreditation attests to the high quality of both the research and applied practice components of our programs. Students in the Clinical program can specialize in adult, child, or neuropsychology tracks.  In addition, we offer a MA in Social Data Analysis jointly with the department of Sociology and Anthropology.  This is the only program of its kind in Canada.

Because of their academic excellence and accomplishments, our graduate students are successful in receiving both internal University scholarships as well as a variety of external scholarships. We offer a wide variety of research opportunities and flexibility in terms of working with faculty across programs and tracks. As a border community, we are uniquely situated to provide diverse research and applied training opportunities both in Windsor and across the border in the Metro Detroit area. Graduate students participate in all levels of departmental governance and find the atmosphere in the graduate program supportive and friendly (see testimonials from past and current students).

Dr. Dennis Jackson, Ph.D.
