We are a vibrant and research-focused department that also emphasizes teaching excellence at all levels. The department is composed of tenured and tenure-track faculty, teaching faculty focused on instruction, clinical faculty who work at the affiliated Psychological Services Clinic, and dedicated staff supporting the department’s mission. Each year, more than 1,000 undergraduate students pursue their Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in Psychology degree in the Department. Our doctoral program has emphasis areas in clinical (nationally accredited), cognition and neuroscience, developmental, quantitative, and social/personality psychology.
