A Welcome From the Chair
Chair & Associate Professor
The Department of Psychology at Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU) has a historical convention of outstanding research, scholarship, education, and service. The department of psychology, housed within the College of Arts and Sciences, is one of the largest departments on campus. Our faculty conduct basic and applied research on various topics in psychology. Our scholars examine basic processes of cognition and social and clinical aspects of behavior. Our most extensive research productivity focuses on applying scientific solutions to mental health, work, and adjustment problems. We offer a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology with a focus on adolescent psychology.
In addition to graduate study, the Department of Psychology offers a Bachelor of Science in psychology. Our faculty are dedicated teachers and mentors. The degree program at PVAMU has substantial opportunities for students to choose courses adapted to their interests. In addition to traditional classes, our curriculum includes laboratory experiences and the opportunity to participate in practicum and internship experiences. One of the most exciting opportunities for undergraduate students is learning through application: working with faculty in their labs on current research to understand and sustain their interests in psychology.
