QUANTITATIVE PSYCHOLOGY
Students in our program study the methodology, measurement and statistics used to conduct research on human behavior. Our concentration prepares students to thrive in an increasingly data-driven world and sets them up to contribute to a wide range of collaborative and quantitative research endeavors.
OUR FOCUS
The Quantitative Psychology Ph.D. concentration at the University of South Carolina has a dual focus. We train students to develop and evaluate novel methodology, as well as to innovatively apply methods to solve important psychological research problems that impact society.
DEVELOP NEW METHODS
We train our students to conduct their own primary quantitative research and to collaborate effectively with substantive researchers. Graduates from our program are prepared to continue their work in the academy as tenure track or research professors, as well as to serve in other important research roles at major universities, medical centers, private firms, or government agencies.

STUDY WITH US
Admission to the quantitative PhD concentration is based on an inclusive evaluation of the prospective student’s profile. We consider one’s traditional academic record, prior relevant experience, and fit with faculty mentor when evaluating applications. Applicants are encouraged to contact prospective faculty mentors prior to applying (to learn more about the faculty member’s current research and to assess match potential) and are advised to discuss fit with identified mentors in the personal statement. Competitive applicants often have prior research experience in quantitative study or have completed prior quantitative classwork of some kind. The University of South Carolina is an affirmative action, equal opportunity institution. We strongly encourage minorities and members of other historically under-represented groups in our field to apply.
