The Department of Psychology at Notre Dame is a community of scholars and learners seeking to reveal and understand the principles and mechanisms that give rise to human behavior. Using basic, applied, and clinical research methods, our faculty and students develop novel theories of behavior, connect behavior to brain function, and develop evidence-based approaches to the treatment of behavioral disorders.
Our structure helps ensure smooth research pathways - from pure discovery science through to clinical application and patient care. The integration of discovery biology, clinical application and patient care within a single Faculty, particularly in a region with notable health inequality, provides us with a real opportunity to have a very significant and positive impact on people's lives.
We've got the brains for the future. For the benefit of society.
The Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at Boston University is a globally recognized leader in research. It offers expertise in a broad range of fields and is ranked highly for its combined psychiatry/psychology faculty research strength.
