The Psychology Department at Carnegie Mellon has long been considered a pioneer in
such areas as cognitive psychology, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence.
Today its programs feature not only those fields, but social/personality psychology,
developmental psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and health psychology as well.
It is consistently ranked as one of the top departments in the nation. Its faculty provide
extensive service to scientific agencies, and they have been recognized by many honors
and awards.

The Department's educational programs feature an emphasis on research at both
the graduate and undergraduate level. We provide graduate training leading to a
Ph.D. degree in Psychology. There is also a joint doctoral program in Psychology
and Behavioral Decision Science. The Department offers undergraduate majors
leading to the B.S. or B.A. in Psychology, the B.S. in Cognitive Science,
and the B.S. in Biological Sciences and Psychology.

Carnegie Mellon University has a tradition of interdisciplinary activity.
Faculty and students in the Psychology Department benefit from interactions with
many other departments and centers. These include the Center for the Neural Basis
of Cognition, the department of Social and Decision Sciences, the Statistics and
Computer Science departments, and the Human-Computer Interaction Institute.
