The Department has built a strong reputation for scholarly work in the fields of Clinical-Counseling Psychology, School Psychology, Cognitive and Experimental Psychology, Industrial-Organizational/Social Psychology, Developmental Psychology, and Quantitative Psychology, and serves more than 1,000 students in their undergraduate and graduate programs, a number that has nearly doubled in the last five years. There are currently 29 tenure-track faculty members, in addition to emeritus and adjunct faculty, and multiple staff that carry out the responsibilities of the Department. We are an interdisciplinary and collaborative department that values teaching, research, and service. Our teaching incorporates and values the pursuit of learning and scholarship, civic engagement, public opportunity, individualized attention, and diversity. Faculty research occurs both in the laboratory and field settings, and it seeks to advance knowledge and practice. Collaborative research is encouraged with colleagues, graduate and undergraduate students. Faculty and students provide service to the discipline, to the university, and to the community.

The Department of Psychology is housed within the College of Arts and Sciences (www.cas.ilstu.edu), home to 19 academic departments, schools, and interdisciplinary programs. The Department, College, and University are committed to shared governance and academic freedom. For more information about the Department and our programs, visit psychology.illinoisstate.edu
