The University of Oregon's Psychology Department explores the full spectrum of psychological science, from cognitive processes to clinical applications. Students engage in hands-on research throughout their studies, with opportunities to work in departmental laboratories. The program cultivates analytical reasoning abilities and teaches students to assess and communicate scientific findings effectively. Practical experience is gained through peer-led initiatives and internships at healthcare facilities, social service organizations, and legal institutions.
Our department brings together researchers at all career stages who are advancing psychological science. The psychology curriculum introduces fundamental principles, theoretical frameworks, empirical discoveries, and ethical considerations across diverse domains: social psychology, personality studies, developmental science, cognitive processes, and biological psychology.
