The Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) has cultivated a tradition of strong, empirically based teaching and research in contemporary experimental psychology. The 42 faculty, 70 graduate students, and many of the 2500 undergraduate majors conduct cutting-edge research in core areas of experimental psychology, including cognition and the perceptual sciences, developmental and evolutionary psychology, neuroscience and behavior, and social psychology. The department's commitment to interdisciplinary pursuits are reflected in expansive research and teaching collaborations with a variety of other disciplines, including the biological sciences, anthropology, communication, educational psychology, linguistics, geography, and sociology. One of 10 campuses of the prestigious University of California system, and the fifth leading public university in the nation, UCSB provides a dynamic intellectual environment that prizes academic rigor and creativity to generate discoveries with wide-ranging impact. The inspirational setting is embedded in nature, nestled between the Santa Ynez mountains and the Pacific Ocean.
The Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Texas A&M University produces scientific discoveries that illuminate psychological processes in human behavior, focusing on mental and physical health disorders, and the psychological and social processes that influence thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The department is highly research-active, with faculty leading the field in editorial boards and grant review panels, and preparing students for leadership roles in their fields.
Welcome to Psychology at CMU. With nearly 30 award-winning faculty and almost 150 people in total, we are a vibrant community whose research continues our department's 100-year tradition of studying the deeper mechanisms and processes underlying human behavior and its social and neural bases. Innovation is in our DNA: our department has been at the center of helping create new scientific initiatives in artificial intelligence, cognitive science, neural-nets, the role of behavior and medicine and, more recently, university-wide efforts in brain research, artificial intelligence and the science of education.
Stanford University's Department of Psychology is known for its pioneering research in cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and mental health, offering world-class training for future psychologists.
