The Department of Psychology aspires to cultivate a community of learners dedicated to the common goal of using scientific methods to understand human thought, emotion and behavior.
The Department of Psychology at Lehigh University offers vibrant undergraduate and graduate degrees that explore the complexity of the human mind and human behavior. At Lehigh, we love to face big, complex challenges, together. Our undergraduate program provides rigorous academic training paired with opportunities for hands-on research.
Undergraduates are prepared for graduate school or for fulfilling careers in fields such as business, education, health care, law, and mental health and social services. A dual major or multiple minors allows you to discover who you are and build genuine, lasting relationships with faculty and peers.
Graduate students are part of a collaborative, research-intensive community with specializations in cognitive, developmental, and social psychology. They work in the labs of psychology faculty and with researchers in the Health, Medicine and Society Program, the Cognitive Science Program, and the Colleges of Business and Education. Many labs also have collaborators at other institutions, so you'll leave here ready to build a meaningful career and make a real, measurable, and lasting difference in the world.
