The Department of Psychology, a unit within ASU’s The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, is developing foundations and deploying solutions for healthy minds, bodies and societies. The department fosters educational excellence through innovative neuroscience and psychology degree programs, award-winning faculty and unparalleled access to undergraduate and graduate research experiences. Graduates emerge well-prepared for professional opportunities in academia, education, industry, healthcare, government and community organizations.
In a supportive and collaborative environment, staff and faculty have the opportunity to grow in expertise and enhance leadership skills. The department, recognizing and embracing various identities, nurtures a sense of belonging where every voice is valued. Engaging with the broader ASU community and participating in unique programs like the REACH Institute, the Child Study Lab, the Clinical Psychology Center and Psych for Life®, provides ample opportunity to make a direct impact in people’s lives.
Aligned with ASU’s Charter and Design aspirations, the Department of Psychology prioritizes the success of its students and alumni and integrates transdisciplinary approaches to improve communities on a local, national and global scale.
To support ASU’s commitment to serving its community, benefits-eligible employees are immediately eligible at hire, and on every January 1 thereafter, for a maximum of eight hours of paid time off to participate in external volunteer activities. Because ASU values the continued growth and development of its employees, we provide employees with up to 24 hours of release time per year towards training opportunities that will enhance skills and abilities and provide professional growth and development.
