The mission of the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience is to engage in research and scholarship of the highest quality and to provide excellent teaching and service, informed and enhanced by our efforts to discover, synthesize, and transmit knowledge.
Our Ph.D. program in Psychology is designed to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and judgement needed to become active contributors at the highest-level to research, teach, and provide public and professional service in the community. The doctoral degree qualifies our graduates to become faculty members, researchers, licensed clinical psychologists, or policy-makers and administrators in fields related to psychology. We offer the doctoral degree with training in six sub-fields: Behavioral Neuroscience, Clinical Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Quantitative Psychology, and Social Psychology.
Our undergraduate major in Psychology is designed to provide students with a broad exposure to the behavioral sciences with a focus on the statistical and research tools used in contemporary psychological research. The subject matter is preparatory to a career in psychology either in basic research and teaching, or in any number of professional applications to various human problems. A psychology major may prove useful to those planning other professional careers such as medicine, law, education, business, social work, or counseling, as well as those who seek a broad cultural background in the behavioral sciences.
Our undergraduate program in Neuroscience draws upon techniques and findings from several academic disciplines, including biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, physics, and psychology. Our Neuroscience major provides students with the fundamental knowledge needed to pursue careers and post-graduate studies in fields related to psychology, human development and aging, health and disease, rehabilitation, biomedical research, and other emerging disciplines.UNC Department of Psychology and Neuroscience Address
