The Psychological Sciences department at William & Mary offers a comprehensive program integrating natural and social science approaches to understanding mental processes and behaviors.
Why and how do people act, think, and feel as they do? Many of the answers to such questions are found in psychology, the science of mental processes and behaviors. At William & Mary, we present psychology as both a natural and a social science in terms of its philosophy, principles, and methods.
UW Psychology generates ground-breaking insights into the mind, brain, and behavior through our mission to: Promote social equity, Optimize human potential by increasing one's resilience and Understand the mind through behavior and brain science.

The Department of Cognitive, Linguistic, and Psychological Sciences (CLPS) was created in 2010 by joining the departments of Psychology (established in 1892) and Cognitive & Linguistic Sciences (formed in 1986). State-of-the-art research in mind, brain, behavior and language requires spanning multiple levels of analysis and using a range of approaches and methodologies, and the integration of these two closely related departments has created an environment where this intellectual synthesis can flourish. The creation of CLPS reflects Brown's philosophy to build bridges between disciplines and to encourage interdisciplinary studies.
