We are housed within the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. Our nationally-recognized faculty conduct basic and applied research on a broad variety of topics in psychology and neuroscience. We provide a high-quality undergraduate education to over 800 majors, with a curricular focus on the science of brain and behavior and its application. Our outstanding graduate program has five distinct areas: Behavior Analysis, Clinical Psychology, Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Industrial/Organizational Psychology, and School Psychology. Admission to the program is among the most competitive at LSU, and we have approximately 100 graduate students enrolled. Finally, we provide a wide variety of service to the region, the state, and the profession.
