Grand Canyon University’s quantitative Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in General Psychology with an Emphasis in Integrating Technology, Learning and Psychology degree can prepare you to engage with current knowledge and research concerning cognition and instruction when paired with technology.
A PhD in quantitative general psychology allows you to dive deep into the history and current trends of core areas such as individual systems of psychology as well as cognition, personality, abnormal, social, multicultural and developmental psychology. However, the quantitative aspect of the program teaches you to go beyond existing research and explore your area of interest through your own research and dissertation.
GCU’s program gives you the opportunity to explore psychology from a Christian perspective and worldview. A significant focus is placed on practicing psychology and engaging in education through an ethical framework.
