Graduate Field Faculty

The Cornell system of graduate education is organized around two key foundational elements: graduate fields and the special committee system. Both represent a belief and tradition grounded in academic freedom that continues to attract outstanding graduate students to Cornell and both encourage students to work across departments, disciplines, and colleges. Below is the list of faculty members from across Cornell University that comprise the Graduate Field of Psychological Sciences and Human Development.
