Psychology is a scholarly discipline, a scientific field, and a professional activity.
Its overall focus is on the study of both human and animal behavior and related mental and physiological processes. As a scholarly discipline, psychology represents a major field of study in academic settings, with emphasis on the communication and explanation of principles and theories of behavior. As a science, it is a focus of research through which investigators collect, quantify, analyze, and interpret data describing human and animal behavior, thus shedding light on the causes and dynamics of behavior patterns. The Department of Psychology is a large, active center for research in all areas of psychology. There are 28 full-time faculty members, all with the Ph.D. degree, over 80 graduate students, and approximately 500 undergraduate majors.
