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 organized into five Ph.D. program areas (Clinical; Cognitive and Neural Systems [CNS]; Counseling; Developmental; and 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).
