We conduct research and offer courses and training in many areas of modern psychology.
Psychology is the scientific study of behavior.
It includes, among many other topics, investigation of attitudes, eating disorders, learning and memory, infant cognition, reproduction, and racial stereotypes. The Department occupies Tobin Hall, a building of some 90,000 square feet, located near the south side of the Amherst campus of the University of Massachusetts.
