The Psychology Department provides outstanding instruction to help students understand people’s behavior and thought processes while seeking to uncover the links between biological processes, environmental influences and human behavior. The department’s curriculum focuses heavily on research and is oriented toward psychology as a science and not as an application. Award-winning faculty members actively pursue research projects, present at regional, national and international conferences and are published in nationally recognized journals. They also participate in ongoing collaborative research with students, and oftentimes present their research findings in tandem with students at regional and national conferences.
The department features highly sophisticated labs— including an auditory perception lab, child development lab, animal research and other facilities—that allow students to conduct a range of research and experiments into many specialty areas of psychology. The Psi Chi National Honor Society in Psychology and Psychology Club provide outstanding opportunities for students to engage in psychology related interests outside the classroom and build a sense of community with fellow students. The program’s deep research component, one-on-one mentorship and opportunities for professional development through student organizations and conferences provide the preparation students need for success in graduate school or careers in psychology and other related fields.
