The General Experimental Program is designed for those planning careers as teacher/researchers in academic settings and researchers in nonacademic settings.  All students are expected to (1) gain understanding of the fundamental areas of psychology (2) acquire a high level of sophistication in statistics, experimental design, data analysis, psychological measurement and quantitative methods, and (3) gain expertise and conduct research in a specialized area of study.

Doctoral-level training in the General Experimental Program follows a tutorial model.  The program of graduate studies at this level is sufficiently flexible to accommodate many student interests.  Students work closely with faculty to design their studies so as to satisfy their interests as well as meet the department's academic requirements.  The faculty strongly believes that research activities must be a major and integral part of the training of an experimental psychologist.
