Department of Psychology
The College of Natural and Behavioral Sciences is one of six main instructional academic units of the university. The Psychology Department, an academic unit within the college, offers its students the option to pursue a wide variety of areas in the study of human and animal behavior while simultaneously providing a solid foundation in research and scientific aspects of the field of psychology.  For students with a general interest in psychology, many of our courses are fundamental in understanding oneself and relating to others more effectively.   At the undergraduate level, the Department of Psychology provides opportunity for the study of different aspects of the field. At the graduate level the department provides the option to pursue an MA in Psychology with an emphasis in Clinical or Health Psychology. For students interested in the research and scientific aspects, courses on the application of the scientific method to the study of human and animal behavior are offered. For those with applied interests, courses relating to counseling, clinical, and health psychology as well as behavioral medicine, industrial and organizational psychology, computers, and service in community agencies are offered. Existing faculty in our department are planning the construction of a rodent vivarium, which would support candidates who work with animal models, however candidates should be able to conduct research without the immediate need of a vivarium. Additionally, candidates would have access to shared core research facilities. Existing faculty in the department are also establishing a mental health clinic, which would offer supervised clinical training experiences for Clinical Psychology graduate students in the MA program who are pursuing their professional clinical counselor license (LPCC).
