Alumni in Action

Alumni

The Psychology and Social Intervention program trains social scientists to work in a variety of settings to understand the experiences of people in the contexts and systems in which they develop across the lifespan and transform and improve these contexts and systems.

Our program prepares students for diverse roles in academia and applied research. Our students are well-positioned for jobs in psychology, human development, education, public health, and public policy in the academic arena. In the area of applied research, students are prepared to obtain positions in research organizations, policy institutes, social service agencies, community-based organizations and advocacy.

Our rigorous theoretical and empirical training positions our students extremely well to respond to the ever-increasing demand for evidence-based prevention and intervention strategies in health, education, and social services.
