Psychology is a remarkably broad field that studies mind and behavior at all levels of analysis ranging from the micro to the macro; from single cells to complex systems; from individuals to groups and cultures; and from invertebrates to humans. Our department is committed to research, teaching/mentorship, and service. We have over 1,000 undergraduate majors and enroll approximately 100 graduate students in our Ph.D. programs. Graduate students have an unusually high success rate in securing external funding, and we have an excellent track record for placing them following their Ph.D.s.
In Psychology & Technology, you learn how technology influences people and how you can let technology work for people by using psychological knowledge.
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.
