Join Developmental Psychology graduate students at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to contribute to path-finding research on the lives of children and youth. Our PhD program is unique in researching the integration of cultural, interpersonal, and individual aspects of human development. The program focuses especially on issues of diversity in relation to culture, ethnicity, race, gender, sexuality, social economic opportunity, and neurodiversity, as people engage across contexts of family, peers, school, community, technology, and media. UCSC is ranked fourth in the world for research influence (2015-16). Graduate students affiliate with one or more core faculty members, to learn through engaged collaborative research. Our program is known for its congenial and cutting edge training.
