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.
The Department of Psychology, established in 1967, is an intellectually diverse community of scholars engaged in research addressing psychology at the levels of mind, brain, and society. We strive for excellence in our scholarship and teaching, and we seek to cultivate in our students a dedication to the highest standards in their endeavors. We are committed to collaboration within and across disciplinary boundaries, and to sustaining professional links with relevant local, national, and global organizations.
The Department of Psychology at Emory University emphasizes the scientific study of behavior, offering undergraduate and graduate programs across various psychology disciplines. Emory University's Department of Psychology conducts wide-ranging research with humans and nonhuman animals, studying cognition, memory, learning, social behavior, and the biological bases of these capacities, as well as the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of psychopathology.
