The Clemson University Department of Psychology in the College of Behavioral, Social and Health Sciences (CBSHS) now offers a doctoral program in health psychology. The new program is designed to equip research scientists and scholars with the knowledge and skills needed to support and improve the mental and physical health of individuals and communities across the state, nation and world.
The health psychology doctoral program expands upon an existing health psychology concentration in the applied psychology master’s program. It was recently approved by the Clemson Board of Trustees and South Carolina Commission of Higher Education, and the first cohort will begin in fall 2025.
Currently, the program includes 14 faculty members, many of whom are affiliates of the Institute for Engaged Aging, Center for Addiction and Mental Health Research and Clemson University School of Health Research.
Applications for fall 2025 close January 15, 2025. To learn more or apply, visit: https://www.clemson.edu/cbshs/departments/psychology/degrees/health-psychology.html.
