The Program in Developmental Psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University offers graduate studies leading to the M.A or Ph.D. degree in Developmental Psychology.
Students who pursue the Masters degree in Developmental Psychology will acquire familiarity with basic theoretical and research orientations as well as exposure to substantive knowledge in the areas of cognitive, language, personality and social functioning, and development, in accordance with individual interest and objectives. Opportunity exists for the study of deviant as well as normal psychological functioning within a developmental framework. Students may design individualized programs of study (so long as they fulfill basic requirements) or may choose to pursue a relatively focused program of study in one of two areas or "concentrations": Risk, Resilience, and Prevention, and Developmental Studies for Educators.
At the Doctoral level, the central aim of instruction is to produce a psychologist who can make a sound and innovative research contribution to the study of human development, who is concerned with the relationship between development and education, and who is equipped to teach effectively about such matters. Students acquire the conceptual background and methodological skills necessary for faculty positions in colleges and universities, or for positions as associates and consultants in research laboratories, biomedical schools, and other applied settings.
