Psychology Faculty

About the Psychology Faculty

The faculty members of the Psychology Department have different areas of specialization (e.g., clinical/counseling, developmental, physiological) and varied research interests (e.g., mental health issues, forensics, sport psychology, educational achievement, and social development). The diversity of interests among the faculty means that students are exposed to a wide range of orientations within psychology and they have an opportunity to work with someone whose interests are similar to their own.
