Psychology is a dynamic and growing discipline.
Dedicated to the scientific study of mind and behavior, psychologists study a wide range of topics, including the neural bases of learning and memory, reasoning, decision making, vision, language, sleep and dreams, hypnosis, infancy, childhood and adult development, intelligence, attitudes and persuasion, leadership, aggression, ethnic diversity and prejudice, group dynamics, personality testing, depression, and psychotherapy. Many psychologists work in applied settings as well, in the areas of health and medicine, business, education, law, sports, politics, and the environment. Our goal within the curriculum is to convey to students the sense of excitement in psychology today. We try to achieve this goal not only through coursework, but by providing opportunities for hands-on research with faculty. This is an active and research-oriented department with excellent laboratory facilities and a diversity of interests.
