This is an exciting time to be at Purdue, as the University and the Counseling Psychology (CPSY) program have grown considerably the past few years. Purdue University ranks among the 15 largest and most prestigious universities in the nation, among the top 50 (i.e. 22nd) internationally, and among the top three public universities with a high international student enrollment. Currently, the CPSY program, which is fully accredited by the American Psychological Association, has five core faculty and 37 full-time doctoral students. In 2006, the program hosted the 19th Annual Great Lakes Regional Counseling Psychology Conference on campus and, in 2011, it will host the 24th annual conference.

The five core faculty members have interesting and diverse research and applied interests. Even so, a common thread runs through their respective research programs, namely, "college students." College student development, adjustment, and well-being is a unifying theme and distinguishing focus of the CPSY program at Purdue. For example, the faculty have active, programmatic lines of research in romantic attachment, career and talent development, grief and bereavement issues, international student issues, and college student gambling. See our list of faculty and see an overview of their research projects at the following links:
The CPSY program accepts applicants from both the master's and bachelor's level. The application deadline is December 15th. On-campus interviews are scheduled for Friday, February 5th, 2010.
Again ... WELCOME. We hope you find our website to be of interest. We also hope, in the future, you consider applying to the program and perhaps, one day, joining the Boilermaker family, especially if you are interested in working with college students. Thanks and Boiler Up!
