Other Certification and Degree Options

• Obtain a Graduate Certificate in Gerontology through the Age Network or Women's Studies through the Center for Women's Studies and Gender Research. Students are also encouraged to complete a certificate in methodology and statistics. These courses would count toward the departmental distribution requirement.
• Pursue a Ph.D. co-major with the College of Education. A Ph.D. co-major is a program of study for a single degree in which a student satisfies the requirements in two separate academic disciplines that offer the Ph.D. The purpose is to provide interdisciplinary training in both developmental psychology and educational psychology. Students seeking applied careers may benefit from this interdisciplinary training. The educational courses would satisfy the distribution requirement.

  Two related but distinct co-majors are available with the Department of Educational Psychology:

  • The first available co-major is with Educational Psychology http://www.coe.ufl.edu/EdPsych/EdPsychprogram.htm.
  • The second possible comajor is with Research and Evaluation Methodology http://www.coe.ufl.edu/EdPsych/Researchprogram.html.

• Obtain a law degree through the joint degree program between the College of Law and the Department of Psychology culminating in both a J.D. law degree and Psychology Ph.D. The law courses would satisfy the distribution requirements.
