The social psychology area currently has five full-time faculty. The research interests of these faculty are diverse and provide a spectrum of opportunities for students, ranging from experiences in theory-driven basic research to problem-driven applied research. The program enjoys intradisciplinary and interdisciplinary ties to other units in the psychology department (e.g., developmental, counseling) and on campus (e.g., marketing, advertising, criminology, law). Students often seek out course work and research experiences in such complementary units to enhance their backgrounds in their chosen specialties.
