Our department is focused on preparing 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 highly
student-oriented, striving to combine excellence in
teaching, research and advising.
Among the departments at Tufts, we are distinctive in having
one of the largest majors on campus, while simultaneously
maintaining one of the University's highest research
profiles. Our primary focus is strongly experimental, with
researchers at the forefront of neuroscience, cognition,
social cognition, experimental clinical psychology,
cognitive and affective neuroscience, and developmental
psychology. By purposefully bridging across these different
areas of Psychology, we want to create a more complete
picture of the how and why of behavior, from the
microstructure of perception and cognition to the varied
robustness of social behavior. In both our undergraduate and
graduate programs, we are highly committed to getting our
students involved in collaborative scholarship at every
level, both inside and outside the classroom.
If you are interested in our programs, please explore our
website as it contains important information about how you
can maximize your educational experience within the
department. If you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to ask any faculty member about the different
possibilities that exist. Join us in exploring the mysteries
and mechanisms of behavior. |
