Psychology

Contribute to the scientific study of mind and behavior

Psychology provides a rich body of knowledge, important issues and fascinating questions—both for students who major in the field as well as for those seeking to enhance their general liberal arts education. At Williams, you’ll learn from and work with faculty whose subfields include behavioral neuroscience, cognitive psychology, clinical psychology, developmental psychology, the psychology of education, and social psychology. Through their expertise, research opportunities, and interdisciplinary investigations, you’ll learn how human beings understand the world and why we behave in the ways we do.
