Department of Psychology

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior.

An undergraduate degree in psychology enhances career opportunities in many fields, and a graduate degree prepares students for professional careers in psychology and related fields.

The Psychology Dept at CSU provides coursework leading to the Bachelor of Science (BS) degree.

Students also have the opportunity to participate in CSU's pre-medical program for application to medical school.

Our faculty represent a diversity of psychology's specializations including clinical, cognitive, developmental, social, personality, biological, and behavior analysis.

The curriculum encompasses theoretical, empirical, and applied approaches, and students have opportunities to explore specialty areas. Internships and independent study are available to qualified students.

Our research labs and facilities enhance the learning experience. We provide opportunities for student / faculty research collaborations leading to publications and presentations at professional conferences.

We host a local chapter of Psi Chi, the International Honor Society in Psychology, as well as our own Psychology Club.

We invite you to consider Psychology for your major at CSU.
