Advanced Psychological Assessment I focuses on hands-on practice and experience in administering and writing reports on new Cognitive tests and those covered in Psychological Assessment I, which is a pre-requisite for this course. Additional experiences to expand students' conceptualization, diagnosing, and report writing will also be provided.

Advanced Psychological Assessment II focuses on hands-on practice and experience in administering personality, psychopathology, brief neuropsychological assessments and standardized clinical interviews for adults and adolescents covered in Psychological Assessment II, which is a pre-requisite for this course.

Reviews symptomatological, classificatory, and epidemiological issues, and surveys the psychological, behavior-genetic, and psychophysiological literature in abnormal psychology. Emphasizes adult psychopathology. Prerequisite: Instructor permission.

In this graduate seminar, we will take a close look at concepts and theoretical perspectives emerging from and guiding the field of community psychology including empowerment, resilience, critical race theory, Black feminism, intersectionality, critical consciousness, and sociopolitical resistance. This course will encourage students to apply these frames to critically examine their own research.

The Practica in Community Psychology and Prevention Science aims to prepare students for a career in one of three settings: academia, industry, or government. To achieve this aim, students are required to design two 1-year fieldwork practica with a local, state, or federal agency, supervised by a laboratory instructor. Prerequisites: Instructor permission.

This course focuses on the structural underpinnings of modern inequality in the United States. Particular attention will be paid to intersections of race and class and the systematic construction of unequal opportunity over time.

This course provides the opportunity to offer a new topic in the subject area of psychology.

Surveys the major empirical and theoretical concepts in social psychology.

In this course we will examine self-knowledge from a scientific perspective, based on research in social, personality, cognitive, and developmental psychology.

Surveys various research approaches to social psychological problems; discusses selected methodological issues; and practices designing and criticizing research techniques on assorted psychological topics. Prerequisite: One semester of graduate statistics and PSYC 7600 or instructor permission.

In this course we will investigate how historical and social contexts of different types of inequality (e.g., racial, economic, gender, sexual orientation) inform individual's psychological processes. Further, we will discuss how these psychological processes may, in turn, exacerbate inequality.

Course will provide professional guidance, discussion, preparation and practice for skills necessary for professional careers with an MA degree or applying to PhD programs with a terminal MA. Students will gain experience in attending research presentations and will have the opportunity to make presentations. Preparation for applying to professional positions and PhD programs will be included, e.g., resume, letters, applications, interviews.

This course is an introduction to the new field of network psychometrics, with an emphasis on exploratory graph analysis (EGA). Students will have a hands-on experience on how to use the EGAnet package for R for implementing all techniques related to EGA, from quantum information theory and network science methods to dynamic exploratory graph analysis and more.

In this course, we will introduce some simple Multi-Level models, introduce some properties of those and some methods to fit data to these models. In the second part, we will advance to more complex multi-level model with possible overlaps between lower levels and non-normal multi-level models.

Course covers the foundations of psychology & statistical techniques used in behavioral science, in particular foundations of traditional statistical testing, R programming, modern statistical testing using bootstrapping & resampling, & very basic introduction to Factor Analysis & applications of information theory. The course has 3 lecture hours & 2 lab hours that teaches computational aspects of the course in R. Basic training in R required.
