Research in our department spans a broad range of topics from the neural bases of perception to relationships between individuals and society. We have the largest undergraduate major at NYU, serving 550 students. Undergraduates can join our honors or tutorial programs to work with faculty and PhD students on cutting-edge research. Our MA program serves 250 students preparing for careers in human resources or social services, or PhD programs. Students may minor in other programs or in Quantitative Psychology , and many complete the cross-cutting Developmental Concentration .
Most students enter the PhD programs directly from college.
The department draws on the myriad resources of New York City , related programs at NYU, and our five-university consortium to create a rich training environment.
