塔夫茨大学心理学系

At Tufts, we are distinctive in supervising more undergraduate majors than any other department on campus, while simultaneously maintaining a vibrant PhD program and one of the university's highest research profiles. Our focus is strongly experimental, with researchers at the forefront of neuroscience, cognition and perception, affective science, experimental psychopathology, developmental psychology, and social psychology. By bridging across these different areas of Psychology, we create a more complete picture of the how and why of behavior, from the microstructure of perception and cognition to the robustness of social behavior. In our undergraduate and graduate programs, we are committed to involving our students in collaborative scholarship at every level, both inside and outside the classroom. Our department prepares undergraduate and graduate students to ask science-based questions about the origins and mechanisms of human and animal behavior using discovery-oriented research and teaching. We are student-centered, striving to combine excellence in teaching, research, advising, and service.
