About
The Department of Psychological Sciences at the University of Portland engages the tools of science to understand the diverse human experience. As home to an undergraduate major and minor, we see psychology as a hub discipline that is central to the liberal arts while also offering a foundation for a wide range of meaningful professions. We orient our academic programs, along with our research and service, around enabling healthy lives and inclusive communities, including through the learning opportunities offered by our neighborhood, city, and region. Our primary goals in contributing to a holistic undergraduate education are to cultivate integrative understandings of people, founded on scientific thinking and social responsibility, developing skills for future success
