Areas of Specialization

Within the department, there are five areas of research specialization, each of which is described below (together with a list of the faculty involved in that area). In addition, there are programs which cut across these areas (certain of which can lead to a clinical extension for a small, select subgroup of students). All students must first complete a one-year M.A. before carrying on to the Ph.D. program, although it is assumed that all students plan to complete their doctorates.
