Faculty

The Psychology Department faculty members represent a wide range of theoretical orientations that include most of the major areas in American psychology. Several are licensed as psychologists for private practice by the state of California. Most are currently engaged in research programs where the graduate students take an active part. The department's active emphasis on research is illustrated by the number of external grants obtained by faculty.

Our faculty involves graduate students in every phase of research in the department, ranging from data collection and analysis to writing and presentations. The faculty encourages and actively collaborates with students on research projects. Much of this research is presented at regional, national, and international conferences. Students also frequently serve as co-authors with faculty on professional publications.
