Psychology Research at Millsaps

The Millsaps Psychology Department is committed to the goal of cultivating majors with a broad base of knowledge in psychology to prepare students for advanced graduate study in psychology, to provide a background for entry into one of the advanced professional schools (e.g., law, medicine, business, education), or to enable the student to receive a broad liberal arts education. The undergraduate psychology curriculum emphasizes the principles and applications of substantive psychological knowledge both as a natural science and as a social science. The curriculum of the psychology department is designed to ensure that each student will receive a strong historical background as well as a thorough understanding of the "real world" application of psychology, while at the same time allowing for and encouraging the opportunity to pursue more depth in an interest area such as:

• Cognitive and Sensory Processes
• Clinical/Counseling Psychology
• Developmental Psychology
• Experimental Analysis of Behavior
• Psychobiology
• Social Psychology

To further enhance the student's understanding of how new information is obtained in the field of psychology we offer research opportunities in the areas of:

• Cognitive Psychology (Memory, Perception and Attention)
• Behavioral Neuroscience (Appetite, Taste Physiology, Development of feeding behavior)
• Social Psychology (Repressed, false and flashbulb memories, and Suicide).

These represent the major areas of interest of our faculty and provide students with valuable experience and technical skills not offered in the classroom.
