Welcome to the Department of Psychology at ASU! Operating at the intersection of the mind, brain, and behavior, psychology explores many of the world’s most complex issues and fascinating questions. Our exceptional faculty of internationally recognized researchers and teachers, working with our students, investigates many of the mysteries and challenges of human behavior. For example,
Our award-winning researchers and teachers offer amazing opportunities to both undergraduate and graduate students, through coursework, research, and community-based experiences. We teach our students fundamental scientific methods—Psychology is a STEM discipline—help them develop their critical thinking and communication skills, and provide them opportunities to translate research knowledge into practical impact. We prepare our students not just for careers in Psychology but also in any field that relies on understanding human behavior—including business, health care, education, law, and media. It’s no surprise that the Psychology major at the Tempe campus is one of the most popular at ASU.
Whether you are interested in mental health, how the brain works, social relationships, cognitive processes, developmental and change processes, or quantitative methods for understanding behavior, the ASU Department of Psychology in Tempe provides unique opportunities to explore what it is to be human. We welcome you to join us!
