Welcome to the Department of Psychology at Northwestern University, a prestigious academic department in the field of psychological research and education. We offer comprehensive programs and research opportunities at all levels, from undergraduate to graduate studies, covering a broad spectrum of psychology. Our faculty consists of internationally renowned experts whose research is frequently published in top academic journals and featured in mainstream media. Northwestern's Psychology Department dates back to 1909, when it quietly separated from the Philosophy Department and became its own entity. The Department initially included only two regular faculty members, Walter Dill Scott and Robert Gault, and offered eight courses. Since 1909, the Psychology Department has grown considerably; we now have 41 faculty members and offer more than 80 undergraduate and graduate courses.
The University of Virginia Department of Psychology strives to advance the science, the methodology and the application of psychology through research, teaching, graduate training, and engagement in our community. We believe we are best able to accomplish our mission as a diverse and inclusive community of scholars.
