Prospective Graduate Students

Although the ERPAS team has included graduate students from several universities and academic disciplines over the years, most of our graduate student team members have been doctoral students in the School Psychology or Applied Psychology programs at North Carolina State University (NCSU).

Dr. Begeny currently plans to mentor one or two new doctoral students beginning in fall 2027.

Please be aware that beginning in January 2027, Dr. Begeny will no longer be at NCSU or accept new doctoral students through NCSU. Instead, he will continue his research, scholarship, and doctoral student mentorship within the University of Texas System, where he will serve as a University of Texas Regents’ Distinguished Research Professor and develop and lead a university Center focused on advancing community-engaged research and scholarship.

If you are interested in learning more about the possibility of beginning doctoral studies with our team in fall 2027, including the university, doctoral program, and opportunities associated with Dr. Begeny’s new role, please contact him at jcbegeny@ncsu.edu.

Before reaching out with questions, prospective students are encouraged to explore the ERPAS website, which provides information about our team, current projects, publications, and broader areas of interest. If you have questions that are not addressed on the site, please feel free to contact Dr. Begeny.
