GRADUATE PROGRAMS PAGE 20 / COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES / PSYCHOLOGY Specialized Research: Our graduate students collaborate closely with faculty mentors, gradually developing into independent researchers across three primary concentrations: • Cognitive Psychology • Developmental Psychology • Social Psychology The Lehigh Edge We believe psychological science thrives when it breaks out of traditional silos.

Our department is committed to a doctoralfirst model, intentionally keeping our cohorts small to guarantee intense, close-knit faculty mentorship.
