The McMicken College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Cincinnati offers a master's degree and a doctorate degree program with an emphasis in neuropsychology. The Department of Psychology has three primary focus areas: neuropsychology, health psychology, and experimental/human factors. Many faculty members focus their research on neuropsychological topics, such as the physiological dynamics of bipolar disorder and similar psychiatric conditions, brain development in adolescents and children, the neuropsychology of brain injuries and epilepsy, and the neuropsychology of drug use. Graduate students can thus complete the thesis component of their program under the supervision of a faculty researcher specializing in a neuropsychological topic. Additional course requirements of the Master of Arts degree program include basic and advanced statistics, measurement and design, and professional development.
