Welcome to the Department of Psychology
The Psychology Department at FIU has an outstanding faculty with a distinguished teaching and research record; a large, committed, and diverse group of students in its undergraduate and graduate programs; and ongoing labs and research programs that provide ample opportunity to gain experience in innovative and exciting cutting edge research. In striving for recognition as a leader in the field, we are seeking to maintain the balance in teaching and research to serve the people of Southeast Florida, state, nation and international community.
The Psychology Department at FIU is commited to taking a lead in the University’s strivings for outstanding teaching and cutting edge research. In doing so, we also affirm the goal of becoming a “flagship” psychology department, distinct in its approach to the unique issues that confront an urban teaching and research psychology department at the beginning of the 21st century. To this end, the Department has begun to identify and address issues and set goals that need to be addressed as a psychology department in an urban university in a global city with a multiethnic/multicultural population at the cutting edge of change in the 21st century. |
