study of cognitive, social\/interpersonal, and behavioral processes, and seeks to advance evidence-based knowledge through high-quality teaching, research, and service.<\/p>\n<p>All undergraduate and graduate students take foundational coursework in statistics and research methods. The undergraduate major offers students a wide-ranging curriculum related to sub-discipline areas such as Cognitive Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Social Psychology and clinically-based classes, such as Abnormal Psychology and Interpersonal Processes. The Master of Arts program in Psychological Sciences prepares students for advanced study (Ph.D.\/Psy.D. programs) and jobs in behavioral health, organizational development, and non-profit work through completion of advanced methodological and analytical courses. Students in the MA program complete either an empirically-based written thesis or an internship and culminating experience project based on the internship.<\/p>\n<p>The Department has over 30 full-time faculty members with expertise in many psychological science sub-disciplines. Our faculty are dedicated to mentoring students and to offering opportunities for experiential learning, such as independent research, internship\/fieldwork and faculty-led study abroad experiences.<\/p>\n<div class=\"numbers-container\">\n    <h3>By the numbers<\/h3>\n    <div class=\"numbers-grid column-count-4\">\n                <div class=\"grid-column shortcode-number shortcode-number--center\">\n            <div class=\"number-container shortcode-number__container\">\n                <h4>1425<\/h4>\n                <span class=\"number-text-code\">Undergraduate Majors (Students)<\/span>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                <div class=\"grid-column shortcode-number shortcode-number--center\">\n            <div class=\"number-container shortcode-number__container\">\n                <h4>1030<\/h4>\n                <span class=\"number-text-code\">Undergraduate Minors (Students)<\/span>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                <div class=\"grid-column shortcode-number shortcode-number--center\">\n            <div class=\"number-container shortcode-number__container\">\n                <h4>50<\/h4>\n                <span class=\"number-text-code\">Human Resources Management Certificate Program<\/span>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                <div class=\"grid-column shortcode-number shortcode-number--center\">\n            <div class=\"number-container shortcode-number__container\">\n                <h4>24<\/h4>\n                <span class=\"number-text-code\">Graduate Students<\/span>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><!--script class=\"ektron-script\"&gt; if ($(\".catalog_script_placeholder\")[0]) { var scriptsLoaded = 0; $.getScript( \"\/\/catalog.nau.edu\/Catalog\/resources\/js\/jquery.catalogFrames.js\").done(function() { $.getScript( \"\/\/catalog.nau.edu\/Catalog\/resources\/js\/easyXDM.min.js\").done(function() { var placeholder = $(\".catalog_script_placeholder\"); var divId = placeholder.attr('divId'); var Program = placeholder.attr('Program'); var catalogFrameDisplayData = {}; catalogFrameDisplayData[placeholder.attr('DisplayType')] = true; var catalogFrameData = {}; catalogFrameData[\"display\"] = catalogFrameDisplayData; catalogFrameData[\"url\"] = \"https:\/\/catalog.nau.edu\"; catalogFrameData[\"plan\"] = Program; $(function setupCatalogWidget() { $(\"#\" + divId).catalogFrames(catalogFrameData); console.log(catalogFrameData); }); }); }); } &lt;\/script--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Department of Psychological Sciences The Department of Psychological Sciences at Northern Arizona University is focused on the scientific study of cognitive, social\/interpersonal, and behavioral processes, and seeks to advance evidence-based knowledge through high-quality teaching, research, and service.
