The Department of Psychology at the University of Florida is dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in the generation of psychological science and to its application and dissemination.
The Department of Psychological Sciences at UConn is dedicated to research and teaching about the brain, mind, and behavior, offering comprehensive psychology education and specialized training from individual neurons to social interactions that shape society. With over 1000 undergraduate majors and 60+ faculty across five UConn campuses, we boast 50+ externally funded grants.
Psychological science is traditionally defined as the study of behavior; neuroscience as the study of the nervous system. As a Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences we are focused on understanding mind and behavior in terms of underlying psychological processes that have their genesis in neural activity in the brain.
Our department has three graduate programs that lead to a PhD—clinical, social-personality, and developmental psychology. We also have an undergraduate psychology major and several psychology minors.
