The Developmental Program trains students to understand children's growth over time. Developmental faculty members have strong collaborative research programs investigating affect, attention, cognition, language, social interaction, school readiness, and early science education. Supportive mentoring relationships with individual faculty members are the keystone of research training in our program. The developmental program is designed to be completed in four to five years of residency. Students may also apply jointly to both the Developmental and Child Clinical Ph.D. programs, if they choose.
