The focus of our graduate program in Legal Psychology is to train students to develop strong quantitative research skills. While some opportunities may exist for garnering experience in the consulting field, the focus of our program is to provide students with the background to succeed as researchers in the academic field. In order to earn a Ph.D., students must complete at least 90 semester hours of graduate study including a Master’s thesis, Qualifying Exam, and Doctoral Dissertation. While all students are required to earn a Master’s degree on their way to earning a Ph.D., we do not offer a terminal Master’s degree.
Prospective graduate students are encouraged to contact Dr. Ross directly to find out more information about the research conducted in the ASCL and the Ph.D. program in Legal Psychology offered @ FIU.
More information about the Legal Psychology Ph.D. program can be obtained by visiting the program website or by contacting the program director, Dr. Ron Fisher.
