Psychology is a remarkably broad field that studies mind and behavior at all levels of analysis ranging from the micro to the macro; from single cells to complex systems; from individuals to groups and cultures; and from invertebrates to humans. Our department is committed to research, teaching/mentorship, and service. We have over 1,000 undergraduate majors and enroll approximately 100 graduate students in our Ph.D. programs. Graduate students have an unusually high success rate in securing external funding, and we have an excellent track record for placing them following their Ph.D.s. Much of the research within the department is funded by extramural sources and is published in highly visible outlets. Over 60% of the faculty members are fellows in their scientific societies, almost half have received an external career award, and a third have held Editor or Associate Editor positions.

Our department is organized into five Ph.D. program areas:

• Clinical
• Cognitive and Neural Systems (CNS)
• Counseling
• Developmental
• Social, Decision, and Organizational Science (SDOS)
  

Cutting across these areas and knitting them together are three research themes:

• Brain, Mind, and Behavior
• Mental Health
• Social, Group, and Cultural Processes
