Centers & Labs

Psychology Research MapOur faculty are active in research and/or professional training. With over $3 million in external grant support, faculty conduct research ranging from critical societal issues (such as drug and alcohol use/abuse, health-related behaviors, aggression, eyewitness testimony, and satisfaction with work) to more basic research questions that add to psychology’s foundation of knowledge.

Our centers and labs are located in various buildings around campus. Please consult the individual lab for specific office addresses.
