Ph.D. in Psychology
The PhD Program is designed to train all students in the fundamental areas of Psychology. The department extends this training with five concentrations in:
Health Psychology
Students with a Health Psychology concentration have an opportunity to conduct research in areas such as health disparities; public health interventions; adaptation to chronic illness or disability; judgment and decision making; risk-taking; smoking prevention and cessation; alcohol use disorders; and underage drinking and driving.
Legal Psychology
Students with a Legal Psychology concentration have an opportunity to conduct research in areas such as juvenile offending; risk-taking and problem behaviors in adolescents; offenders with mental disorders; stigma; and legal decision-making by attorneys and jurors.
Social-Cultural Psychology
Students with a Social-Cultural Psychology concentration have an opportunity to conduct research in areas such as stereotyping, discrimination, cross-cultural psychology, multi-culturalism, and social neuroscience.
Behavioral Neuroscience
Students with a Behavioral Neuroscience concentration have an opportunity to conduct research in areas such as addiction, drugs of abuse, behavioral regulation, and neurobiology of mood-related illness.
Bilingualism, Language and Cognition
Students with a Bilingualism, Language, and Cognition Concentration have an opportunity to conduct research in areas such as bilingual memory and multilingual language processing. Ph.D. candidates are required to complete 78 semester hours.
Yearly Evaluations and Satisfactory Progress
Students are expected to make satisfactory progress toward their degree. Faculty will provide all students with annual written evaluations and feedback. Failure to make satisfactory progress toward one’s degree can result in dismissal from the program.
Department of Psychology Evaluation of Advancement to Dissertation
Students must apply for Department of Psychology Evaluation of Advancement to Dissertation. This can be done once students complete
- statistics and research method courses,
- breadth courses,
- first-year research, and
- thesis research requirements.
Maximum Time for Completion of the Ph.D. Degree
Students in the Ph.D. program in Psychology must complete all requirements for a Ph.D. within one eight-year period. The eight-year period begins with the term of the first course listed on the student's degree plan. Use of advanced standing will proportionately decrease this time.
Ph.D. Oral Examinations
A dissertation proposal must be defended orally before the student's committee prior to the student’s collecting data. In addition, students must make a public presentation of their dissertation and successfully defend their dissertation during a final oral examination conducted by the dissertation committee. The final oral examination can include committee examination on any appropriate material.
A copy of the dissertation in PDF or Word electronic format must be submitted to the Graduate School for format check prior to the scheduled defense date. The dissertation, including an abstract not to exceed 350 words, must be prepared according to the Graduate School’s thesis and dissertation guidelines available at the Graduate School Web site. The student will receive an email confirmation from the Graduate School after the format has been approved. The final Graduate School approved dissertation must be submitted to the Graduate School in PDF electronic format by the deadline as published in the Class Schedule, along with a hard copy of the signature page with original signatures of the dissertation committee members. Information on submission procedures can be found on the Graduate School website. The signature page must be included in the PDF file but it should not be signed.
Department of Psychology Academic Policies
Departmental Academic Standards
In addition to the University requirement that all students admitted into graduate programs must maintain an overall cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better in all upper-division and graduate courses, the Department of Psychology requires in all graduate programs students who attempt a course or courses and receive two grades of C or lower in Psychology courses be dismissed from the program. Students who earn a grade of C or lower in a course must retake the course the next time it is offered and earn a grade of B or better.
Transfer Students with Graduate Credit
Students accepted into the Ph.D. program with graduate credit from The University of Texas at El Paso (including the Psychology Department) or from another university must satisfy the same requirements as those beginning their Ph.D. graduate training in Psychology at UTEP without previously earned graduate credits. The student can petition the Graduate Program Committee to accept a maximum of 24 hours of graduate credit (excluding thesis hours) completed at UTEP or at another institution. Approved credits will appear as Advanced Standing Credit on the Preliminary Plan of Study. Students who have taken PSYC 5301 (Research Applications) from UTEP prior to admission to the Ph.D. program can request that a maximum of three (3) credit hours for this course be included in the 24 hours that can be counted toward their Ph.D. degree, as long as those hours were not used to meet requirements for a previous or separate degree. A doctoral student who wishes to apply more than six (6) transfer credits toward a master's degree at UTEP must obtain prior approval from the department's Graduate Program Director.
The student must make a written request to the Graduate Program Director for Advanced Standing Credit. It is the student’s responsibility to provide all evidence and material necessary for the Graduate Program Director to review the request. Advanced Standing Credits are subject to final approval from the Graduate School. Transfer students can be considered for Department of Psychology Evaluation of Advancement to Dissertation only after they complete two academic semesters and all relevant requirements.
General Requirements for Graduate Programs
Admissions Requirements
Because all of our graduate programs focus on research and require extensive one-on-one contact between faculty and student, we can accept only a limited number of students each year. Admission is competitive, and admission recommendations are made by a committee that carefully reviews each applicant’s academic history, performance, and interests. To be admitted, one must have a bachelor’s degree (or the equivalent for non-U.S. students) from an accredited university. Students who are still working on their bachelor’s degree and who will complete it before starting graduate work are given full consideration. Individuals who do not have a degree in Psychology are also given full consideration, but admission might be conditional on the student’s satisfactorily completing a few undergraduate Psychology courses.
We accept students once a year. Check the Graduate School Degrees, Programs, and Deadlines page for application deadlines.
If you are interested in applying, please submit the following materials to the UTEP graduate school application portal:
- A UTEP graduate school application (an online application can be found at the graduate school’s Web page).
- Transcripts according to the requirements of the Graduate School.
- Official GRE scores optional.
- A two- to three-page personal statement outlining experiences, skill, and training. In addition, the applicant should state his or her career goals and how this specific program will benefit professional development.
- Three letters of recommendation.
- Virtual and in-person interview required.
- Applicants whose degrees are from non-English speaking institutions are required to demonstrate English proficiency. Please consult the Graduate School website for required scores.
Before being admitted into any graduate program, either MA or Ph.D., the applicant’s undergraduate preparation must include a course in Psychological Statistics and 12 hours of upper-division courses in Psychology, including a course in Experimental Psychology.
