Psychology curriculum. The third element consists of in-depth study of policy in a domestic and/or international context, through coursework in the Psychology department and elsewhere in the University. The fourth element consists of an interdisciplinary practicum, where teams of four to five students from diverse disciplines attack practical policy problems. The final element is the PhD dissertation.
