Tufts University Psychology Department

Among the departments at Tufts, we are distinctive in having one of the largest majors on campus, while simultaneously maintaining one of the University's highest research profiles. Our primary focus is strongly experimental, with researchers at the forefront of neuroscience, cognition, social cognition, experimental clinical psychology, cognitive and affective neuroscience, and developmental psychology. By purposefully bridging across these different areas of Psychology, we want to create a more complete picture of the how and why of behavior, from the microstructure of perception and cognition to the varied robustness of social behavior.
