Psychology

Our diverse and award-winning faculty are active researchers who investigate phenomena including texting while driving, sexual attraction, group identity and discrimination, behavioral epigenetics, couple interactions, combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder, and the interactions between physical and mental health.

Students in our program have an incredible number of opportunities to get involved and develop marketable skill sets while studying the science of psychology. Many of our students work as research assistants in established laboratories, or under the direction of a faculty mentor while pursuing their own research project. Our department also encourages students to gain real-world experiences while still earning academic credit through internships. In addition to research and internships, several diverse, impactful, and well respected student groups operate on campus. These groups interface with the department, university, and community on various levels.
