The Department of Psychology offers programs leading to the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees. At the graduate level, students are prepared either for careers in academic teaching and research or as practitioners. Supervised field service opportunities are available in several settings, including the Psychological Services Center, the Child Study Center, and through relationships with the Counseling Center and a variety of local community agencies.
Psychology draws on a variety of other disciplines in both the life and social sciences.
Neurology, pediatrics, and other aspects of human medicine, organizational sociology and management theory, education, and statistics collections are all of importance to the department. In turn the literature of psychology serves as a resource for faculty and students in Family and Child Development, Sociology, Education, and Business. Sensation Research BF 311-499 Cognition.
